It is always an exciting moment for me to start a new project, when the client tells me about his ideas and starts the development of the project design to communicate these new ideas to the world!
Here you can see a preview of one of the two: You Be the Kind! - Empowering the idea of originality against trends.
Read MoreWednesday Alice Pressenda, Claudio Fenocchio's niece, presented seven wines from the Azienda Agricola Giacomo Fenocchio. Alice described with passion the peculiarities of each Barolo chosen for the special dinner, including the tricks and details of the family’s work. Chef Donato and his sous chefs paired each wine with elegant Italian dishes.
It is always a great pleasure to be able to photograph these evenings which are a feast for every palate and an experience not to be missed!

I think I managed to capture her personality. Olga wasn't prepared to be in front of the camera but after a short time she managed to relax and also to recommend me the best background! A pleasant photo session in discovering her personality in every shot of her that showed itself to me!
Read MoreAfter two and a half years Donato Enoteca has resumed the appointment with the winemaker dinner! The menu that Donato prepared for the evening was truly excellent and the wines of Cascina Val del Prete were much appreciated by all.
These are some of the images of the evening:

YOU THE KIND - Styling project that promotes inclusiveness, authenticity, awareness of diverse uniqueness, and sustainability.
Irene is a very good model even though she has never done this for a living! Her expressions during each photo session changed according to the character she wanted to show. I felt like I was photographing many facets of her wonderful personality.

Touching and full of surprises yesterday evening at the San Francisco Italian Athletic Club with the premiere of “Harvest 2020”, the documentary directed by Maurizio Gigola that talks about how winemakers, through the thick and thin, dug deep into their people and their territory and made wine during the 2020 pandemic. An evening entirely dedicated to Friuli Venezia Giulia with the wines of Friuli that Patrick Corazza served to all participants.
A great evening! Happy to have captured every moment!
Thanks to my fantastic assistant for her invaluable help.

Every edition of Enoteca100 is educational and fun. Also on Saturday we met new faces, tasting new wines and celebrating in a new environment that Donato designed for his new patio at Donato Enoteca. I leave you to the images that I think are very explicit!

Kristyan's restaurant, Terun, is one of only fifteen in California that is a member of the American Delegation of the Associazione Vera Pizza Napoletana, a non-profit that recognizes the handful of restaurants outside of Italy that meet strict standards and respect the meticulous process of traditional Neapolitan pizza making. But Kristyan is a chef in both Terun and Italico and the menu of both places is full of typical Italian dishes that become even more special with Krityan's personal touch. Try them too!
P.S. His porcini pizza is fantastic!!!
Read MoreTerún has extended its outdoor space and offers live music with the south Italian summer style where every dinner is like a party!!!
Famous in the Bay Area for their Neapolitan pizza, customers love them for their unmatched hospitality.
I’m lucky enough to photograph during some evenings and this time I photographed Maico Campilongo and Mike Annuzzi while they play and sing. Customers can't sit still and want to dance!!!
Fun and tasty, the cooking class dedicated to Italian finger food. Among the arancini ragusani with ham biscuits, bruschetta, salmon, frittelle ... the photographer gets lost!
Read MoreAfter spending the month of December in the forests and tree-lined parks, it's time for COLOR!
For the month of January I propose the beautiful murals of San Francisco and the Bay Area as a backdrop for the new photos.
