BIO

Matteo (1998), was born and raised in Florence, but has lived in different cities for study. After a master's degree in Earth System Physics and a research campaign in the Arctic, he chose to devote himself to photography to tell the story of the relationship between human beings and the environment through a precise but sensitive gaze.

His education has given him the tools to understand the complexity of nature, but it is through photography that he has found the most direct and intuitive means to tell its story: the way he himself looks at the world.

He has attended courses and workshops with TerraProject (Sense of Place, Fondazione Studio Marangoni), Isacco Emiliani and Matteo Luciani (Conservation Photography, Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi), and Paolo Sodi (Into the Nature, Parco Nazionale delle Foreste Casentinesi).

He was also selected by CERN, through an international call, to participate in the CERN Photowalk 2025 in Geneva, together with sixteen other photographers. Some of his photographs of the Morteratsch glacier were used as the cover of the annual magazine ALPINSCENA, published by CIPRA, an international organisation for the protection of the alpine environment.

​

His works often explore the relationship between human beings and the environment in its broadest sense, in his own personal sense: not only through the visible presence of the artificial in nature, but also through the ongoing scientific research that mankind carries out. An area that allows him to intertwine his previous academic experience with his new photographic path.
