I starter as a child. I couldn’t be in any other way, as my family has a long tradition of naturalists.

But I did more, it was a choice for life. I remember the first workcamps with the World Wide Fund and the Italian Ligue for the Protection of Birds, the nights and days I spent checking the eagles’ nests or the fire preventing duties. My passion is to discover nature; my studies and field research dedicated to flora and fauna and especially to birds, orchids and butterflies. I have travelled in many countries, staying there where my study interests were greatest, experiencing and learning a great deal. So my choice for life became a profession. I cooperated with Regione Lazio as a teacher of vocational training for technicians of the nature reserves and parks. For the WWF reserves in Italy I looked after the setting up of nature paths, fauna areas (especially insects), botanic gardens and routes for blind and handicapped persons. I participated in scientific missions in Europe, Asia, Africa and North and South America. I am a consultant for several Italian nature organizations, the Corpo Forestale dello Stato (National Forest Guard), national parks and nature reserves and I contribute photographs for worldwide publications. I have been a nature guide for public and private bodies accompanying groups and schoolchildren in the whole of Italy since 1979. Adventure is of prime importance to the nature lover and it’s my lifeblood, the culmination of years of work, enthusiasm, competence, passion that I put at everyone’s disposal.
