it came about that...

...it came about that, on the occasion of my fifth-year promotion, my father, Erminio, gave me a camera, an already  legendary Leica m4.
It was the beginning of a life for me, a new life, built inside my thoughts, my sensations, my images.
It was 1968... thanks to this instrument my world, my heart found a way of expressing themselves through an ideal course in which I could also hide all of my... fears.
A few adventures with sport, some images taken on the Monza circuit, which have become memorable, a few months spent globe-trotting to immortalize... my youth, then every corner, every moment, every breath became an opportunity... to reproduce my atmospheres in images.
Just a few words to say thank you to the one who gave me that... instrument... but thanks also to you for  spending time flipping through these pages... I’m sure you’ll allow my... sensations... old and new... to present themselves in a good light, and for me to relive them.
