Massimilano was born in Formia, a city, located on the Mediterranean coast of Italy, halfway between Rome and Naples.

After obtaining his degree in Literature and Philosophy at the University “La Sapienza” of Rome, he continued his studies for Interior Yacht Design. Then, he felt the necessity to express himself and started his life as a self-taught photographer. Later on, he moved to Barcelona and attained a higher education course in Artistic Photography.

At the question: “For which reason do you want to express yourself through the camera? He replied: “a camera is a powerful instrument to reflect society and on society... another reason is because I cannot paint”

In a short amount of time the digital camera has allowed him to experiment with a lot of different things and gave him the opportunity to express his art rapidly. Afterwards, he started working with the analogue camera and the darkroom and at the moment he is trying out new tecniques, as for example the cyanotype and the pinhole.

He hasn't only changed the photographic processes but also his relationship with the photography. At the beginning he took a lot of pictures, trying constantly to catch the instant, now he often dedicates the first part of the creative process to develop the concept that creates his artwork.
