Short description

I was born and raised in Canton Ticino, Switzerland.

I began my training at the SAE Institute in Berlin, where I had the opportunity to collaborate with various local productions, and later continued my studies at Zelig, the documentary film school in Bolzano, graduating in 2022.

Currently, I work regularly as a DOP or cameraman with Swiss, German, and Italian productions.

I speak Italian, German, English, and French.
