Growing up near the mountains in Italy, I never would have imagined that I would end up spending most of my life exploring the depths of the ocean. After completing my degree in sociology, I spent a year working on human rights projects in Peru, which ignited my passion for travel and experiencing new cultures. I spent several years managing socio-economic projects across Latin America until I discovered scuba diving off the coast of Panama. From that moment on, my fascination with marine life and exploring the ocean grew into a full-blown obsession.

After becoming a diving instructor, I traveled the world to dive in places like the Dominican Republic, Madeira, Jordan, Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and East Timor. However, it wasn't until I arrived in Baja California that I decided to make it my second home. The sea wildlife in this region is simply unbelievable. My goal now is to document the underwater world and make it accessible to everyone through direct experience or my photos and videos. By sharing my deep love for the ocean and our blue planet, I hope to inspire others to appreciate and protect the incredible beauty that lies beneath the surface.
