Stimulate imagination, through vision of reality

All around the stench, the churches of San Domenico and Santa Maria dei Servi, but also small streets full of shops, where you can taste the Sienese cantucci, obviously accompanied by a good glass of Vin Santo. Looking for shops with cheaper leather goods, go to Via delle Terme, where at number 20 and 32 you will find a great variety of bags, jackets and wallets. The territory of Siena is divided into 17 districts, but only ten participate in the Palio race https://www.ilpalio.org/. Before the Palio, a procession in which more than 600 costumed participants travels around the Piazza del Campo three times, on July 2 and August 16 each year. For a lasting memory of your stay in Siena, nothing better than a good photo book by a photographer who was born under this sky.

The strength of his digital photographs is the filter offered to the viewer to imagine innovative visions of known subjects. He produced a photographic catalog (and a corporate report) of the best works of a lighting company. The Cesare Olmastroni Gallery in Siena hosted his exhibition Forma/ae – Siena inside and outside, a photographic book divided into two volumes (Intra and Extra), which tell the story of his city, inside and outside the walls.
