The flâneur was a literary type from 19th century France: drawing on the poetry of Charles Baudelaire, the figure of the flâneur, connoisseur of the street, has been used to explain modern urban experience. The flâneur’s tendency toward detached but aesthetically attuned observation has brought the term into the literature of photography, particularly street photography: the photographer is an armed version of the solitary walker reconnoitering, stalking, cruising the urban inferno, the voyeuristic stroller who discovers the city as a landscape of attractive extremes.
I think to be a sort of modern flâneur: after graduating from Art and Cinema School I began to travel in Europe, then in United States and South America, trying to know the city I was visiting walking into them all day long and discovering my love for street photography.
Finally, I have published a book, "Fuori dalla Caverna", with stories and photos of my travels.
