Atomic Rocket Comics: SHADOW BOY (Video)
The kid who comes straight from the land of the shadows, he's got a special ability to slip out of the darkness at his will (and therefore, to slip back into it as well). He wears colored glasses because is native world is in black & white, and through them he has the chance to see this reality in color. He fights crime and injustice mostly at night, he is totally allergic to light. He is gifted with a great sense of humour, he usually likes cracking jokes and terrorize people just for fun, especially beautiful girls.

Atomic Rocket Comics: the full story
At the end of the 60's, the italian publishing company Atomic Rocket Comics commited itself to a full round artistic project, drawing esthetic inspiration from the most colourful styles coming from overseas and from the tradition of the national noir comic book genre, also known as "fumetto nero". Through the making of comic books and picture stories as well, and several gadgets too aimed at entertaining the readers, Atomic Rocket produced stories of masked super heroes and its content was very extreme and cruel, and it was made even more appealing by a fine esthetic choice.
Unfortunately, the religious and political organizations of that time found such products unbearable, because Atomic Rocket Comics started a real cultural fire and its impact on society was massive. And, alas, it was a real arson (a malicious one) to bring to a financial bankrupt the company, causing all the creative team involved in this project to disappear into anonymity, leaving behind themselves, in the years to follow, a trail of mistery. And nothing more.
Years passed by, and suddendly, a bunch of collectors started tracking down the "Lost archives" of Atomic Rocket in order to revive the legend and making it available to the public once again. So they went and searched among the ruins and the remains of the publishing company's headquarters, and found evidence of it existence; and then they retrieved all of the material they managed to find in order to bring it out of the darkness where it had been buried in , and to show it once again to the fans, giving new glory to these amazing characters.Art Direction, Cinematography, Directing2013 -

Nocturne info:
Is meant to be a multimediaproject, an audio/visual experience, an experiment in creating aconnection between two forms of communication. Having started to shootthese photographs drawing constant inspiration from electronic music asan audio source bound to influence my perception of what surrounds me,I started to consider the idea to melt two medias together in onesingle project, like a sum of the various parts involved. As a result,I considered the possibility to get in touch with a certain number ofartists whose music suits my photographic style properly, in terms ofrecreating via audio the feeling that my images evoke by watching them.Art Direction, Photography, Street Art2012 -

Hello all of you
This is an "experimental video" that I've made with a new Casio Exilim camera that I've bought. I wanted to capture the feeling of taking a walk alone in a snowy town at night, besides it rarely snows in my hometown, so it was definitely a very special occasion !
What else can I say ? Have fun watching it !Directing, Urbanism, Video Arts2012 -

New video for the italian one man band Bologna Violenta, conceived as a tribute to the infamous "italian giallo" genre, very popular in Italy, back in the 70's; especially I've focused the creative process on the trailers and opening credits of that era. Besides, I've added a religious subtext to it, drawing inspiration from the title (the sodomites convent).Cinematography, Directing, Visual Effects2012 -
