Biografia

He has always had a passion for photography to the point of leaving his full time job in Rome to devote himself completely to photography.
After a couple of years in south-east Asia working as assistant with a travel photographer organizing workshops, he finally decided to pursue a career as a photojournalist.
In his photography Giorgio has always paid particular attention to political and anthropological issues and has embarked upon a freelance career to focus on a combination of long-term personal projects and client assignments. He has covered stories in Syria, Ukraine, Burkina Faso, Vietnam, Myanmar, Nepal, India, etc.
Giorgio won several international prices and got many public recognitions, and his pictures are regularly published on newspapers and magazines, both on paper and online.
