Media producer and creative with over 10 years of journalistic experience. My versatile production includes credits in The Guardian, The Independent, L'Espresso and Radio France International. Ideas have driven my production since the age of seven when I produced my first creative output. At 16 my first work was published in an Italian national collection of short stories.
Self-taught photographer, I have mastered this art while interviewing photographers such as World Press Winner Jodi Bieber. I have six years of experience as a documentary producer and filmmaker educated while travelling to Los Angeles, Houston, New York, Cardiff and Istanbul for the internationally produced, independent documentary series (IN)VISIBLE CITIES and (IN)VISIBLE CITIES Istanbul, the first media product to describe the lives of African migrants in Istanbul.
My media production is linked to the extensive network of people and communities visited in the course of my professional life and the urgent need to tell their stories brought me to the creation of Balobeshayi: social cooperative run by people with a migratory background and producing documentaries on social issues, delivering trainings, researching and solving social cohesion issues in highly diverse neighbourhoods.
Things you won't read on my resumé: I had dinner with two Nobel Peace Prize Laureate; spent an afternoon with Noam Chomsky; interviewed the first Congolese to access Walls Street with his company; acted in a theatre more times than I really wanted to.
