Born in Bari in 1983, Massimo left his family in 1997. Finding himself again in his hometown in 2006, after unsatisfactory studies in philosophy, found a camera and his interest in photography. This led him to take courses in many workshops with photographers such as Frank Dituri and Francesco Zizola, who appoint him as Giacomelli’s “heir”.
He exhibited all around Italy and abroad, in London, Miami, New York, Cincinnati, San Diego, and in Russia in Novosibirsk, Ekaterinburg and St. Petersburg, winning national and international awards and honorable mention (over all the IPA, WPGA, Px3).
Since 2007 Massimo has had no settled place of residence, working around Italy and Ireland covering personal projects and the most important music festivals.
Currently he’s working at his first photographic book.
