I got curious of culture of other populations and so I made many journeys: sea and culture – GREECE_, emotions -KENYA-, knowledge, art and food –JAPAN-. I loved so much the Japanese world that I attended in seventies a school of IKEBANA with good results. Every morning I had their breakfast, I didn’t know frequently what I was eating. To know their world was very interested also through their food. In these years of satisfactions and exactly in 1973 I took part in the Yearly Competition in Montecarlo (France), with subject “Flowers of garden” and I got a award for “originality” by Princess Grace Kelly with whom I began a way of laboratory in the art of picking up and drying up leaves and flowers to create pictures. She created pictures by herself.

I had an interesting meeting in 1993 with the President of the Cultural Association “CadDj’Amis”, Mrs Claudia Ferraresi with whom I began a way of photographic work to document events. I supported her in the group of restaurateurs “The restaurants of the palette”.

The experiences done were strong , gratifying and full of rewards. They were sometimes also funny with the involvement also of old and dear friends of the show. In this year I joined photography to food, music and friends, I enjoyed myself by taking pictures to famous people in front of a dish or with a glass of red wine in their hands. I could arrange “Gastronomic Events” with the special participation of big friends as Vince Tempera, Gianni Bella, Marcella Bella, Daniele Piombi, Owana Gana and many others, by taking the occasion to see them together during the Musical Event in Sanremo, in which I take part every year.
