About
BIOGRAPHYFreelance photographer based in Italy (Aosta, 1996). In 2018, she graduated in Photography and Visual Arts at the European Institute of Design (IED) in Milan presenting a thesis based on memory. This course gave her the opportunity to develop a strong interest in analogue photography, landscape and still life. In 2019, she co-founded Pietra Studio, a photographic duo focused on interiors and design. In 2021, she won an honorable mention during the portfolio review at the Ragusa Foto Festival with Tre Mesi. The latter project will be exhibited during the “Harmony Edition” of the festival. In 2022, Come un fiore senza terra was exhibited at BASE (Milan) and was one of the first ten works selected from all those who submitted a project during the year for the Perimetro Awards. In 2023, she opened her first solo exhibition at Colla Super in Milan introducing the project Tell us of Pain. In the same year she also took part in the group exhibitions for Photographic Exploration Project (PEP) inside the “B-Part am Gleisdreieck Gallery” in Berlin and for the Charta Festival, in Rome, with the exhibition of a work included in the “Wildness” publication, released by Yogurt Magazine. Her work has also been published by various magazines including Domus, C41 Mag, Perimetro, Safelight Paper, ArtDoc Photography Magazine, Phroom, Artribune, Yogurt Magazine, Broad Magazine, Fisheye.
