The last breath
Inspired by the true story my dear friend Fulvio that lost her beloved wife of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis and, finally, respiratory failure.
The story of their last four years together touched me so deeply that I asked my muse Francoise if she was willing to create some images with me trying to express the pain of such experience.
It was an unbelievable experience to be in front of my camera living the moment with Francoise...
I then selected two images, this one represent the last moment together, we hug as the disease cannot separate our lives. If this one gets at least 10 stars I will also publish the second image which title is: "She is gone".
Thank you for reading

First shooting after the COVID-19 quarantine
Wednesday, 2020-05-27 10:00h - 18:00hComo, Italy
Italy / Europe
After my last shooting at the beginning of March with Sara (some images somewhere in this article) I took this period to go trough many shootings I did since last autumn and prepared some post-production images that I' now publishing on my web site, instagram and, of course, here on STRKNG.
It was a moment to think about what direction to move in the future and so many good things happened; soon I will be represented by a gallery in Milan and I also started to sell some images of my dolls on auction sites.
I'm so happy it is now time to start create some new images.

My first personal exhibition is dedicated to my home town: Como (Italy).
A serie of 30 images, all squared and mostly in black & white where I show some details of the city thought my romantic and, sometimes, provocative point of view.
The exhibition is taking place at "Il Cortiletto", one of the most frequented cocktails bars in Como.
