Ciao! I'm Francesco.

Your Italian visual storyteller, award-winning film director, and local guide. I have a deep reverence for cinematic adventure and the truth of human connection.

My Approach

Memories matter. More than the grand venues or the perfect lighting, it is the raw, unscripted emotion that endures. After years of living and creating across New York City, Los Angeles, and Denver, I found my way back to the breathtaking landscapes of Northern Italy.

My background is in documentary filmmaking, a discipline where authenticity is everything. My work has been celebrated globally, including winning Best Documentary in Los Angeles (2026) and earning a finalist selection as a producer at the 2025 Banff Mountain Film Festival. Today, I bring that exact same cinematic, truth-driven eye to destination weddings, intimate elopements, and high-end commercial campaigns.

I know that stepping in front of a camera can feel intimidating. That is why my couples often describe me as a "photographer, guide, and friend." I am here to navigate the alpine trails, find the hidden Tuscan villas, speak the local language, and ensure you feel completely at ease so your true story can unfold naturally.

Behind the Lens

A few random facts about me

01

Before calling the Italian mountains my home base, I lived in the fast-paced creative hubs of New York City, Los Angeles, and Denver. That international experience allows me to seamlessly connect with clients traveling from all over the world.

02

I am a massive nerd for visual storytelling. Winning Best Documentary in LA and being a Banff finalist was not just a career milestone: it cemented my belief that every great project must be rooted in truth.

03

I am also a trained graphic designer. This background gives me a highly refined, editorial eye for composition, color, and typography, which translates perfectly into crafting your custom fine art albums.

04

I regularly collaborate with major international outdoor brands such as Asics, Rab, Hydrapak, La Sportiva, and NutriPure. Producing high-end commercial campaigns in the mountains requires a level of precision that I bring to every single wedding I shoot.

05

When I am not behind the camera, you can usually find me playing with my dog, hiking in the Dolomites, and trying to sip a perfect cup of coffee.

06

I love early mornings. I also have a deep passion for vintage cameras, short films, and, of course, a great pizza.

Let's create something beautiful.

I can't wait to connect with you and tell your incredible story.
