About me
 
About me
     
I live in Rome, Italy. The skies here are very, very light polluted, too much so for any deep sky photography but not too bad for imaging bright objects like the moon or planets. To make a buckI work with the scientific status of a professional photographer in the Vatican Museum, located in Vatican City, documenting methodology - highly scientific - all works of art being restored, preserved in the Vatican Museums
 
     
     
     
From 1982 until 1994 I was lucky enough to photographically document all of the restoration of the largest restoration of all time: the Sistine Chapel, frescoed by Michelangelo, together with the film crew NTV (Nippon Television Network Corporation), creating thousands images in color and black & white.In all these 12 years (1982-1994) many scientific photographs have been published in the most influential magazines, newspapers and book around the world on this important restoration (National Geographic, Time, Life, Revue de l'Art...., made by myself!
