Moments captured throughout my career at concerts, studio sessions and tv broadcastings

All the pictures on this website have been taken over the years by various photographers (although some were taken by myself). Some are professionals, some do it just for fun, others are friends who have captured a special moment. To each of them I extend my heartfelt thanks.

While choosing photos for this page, I realized there were simply too many to include them all, but I didn't want to leave so many out. So I uploaded all the photos to my Pixieset page. To see all the photos, just click the button at the end of this section.

Most of the pictures are by Riccardo Fontana, a great photographer and a dear friend who passed too soon (r.i.p.), and this gallery is also a tribute to his genius and his incredible artistic sensibility.

Other pics are by Tino "Photino" Barletta, Antonio Viscido, Vittorio Battoglia, Emilio Scappini, Diana Manzanares Ruiz, Luca Fivizzani, Daniele Madio, Roger Salem, Chiara Passini, Luciano Onza, Antonio Stefanini, Gianni L'Abbate, Eleonora Biradi, Giovanna Enea, Monica Alabianca Sala, Maurizio Malabruzzi, Roberto Durán, Chris Rogers, Hansen Pixx, Kia Pax, Alessandro Marsili, Lisa Bernesco, Alessandra Roccatagliata, Simona Padelli, Jean-Blaise Betrisey, Marco Borrelli, Carlo Corrado Faccioni, Luca Fanti, Omayra Arroyo, Juan Fernandez Ruiz, Francesco Rainero, Marco Rainero, Federico Losi, Juan López.
