Third prize in the
“Scatti Impertinenti” photography contest

Great news

Sharing a small satisfaction of mine, my photo “Odissea lagunare” was awarded third prize in the photography contest”Scatti impertinenti”, organized in Venice by the Tutta la Città Insieme Association.

The jury was composed of: Tiziano Bolpin (former Head of the Communication Archive of the Municipality of Venice), Silvio Fuso (former Director of the Museo Fortuny in Venice), Manfredo Manfroi (Honorary President of the Circolo Fotografico La Gondola) and Giovanni Andrea Martini (curator of the Video Concorso Francesco Pasinetti, among 

For me, an added value of this award is precisely the high level of this jury, so authoritative and competent in the field of photography and images.

This is an image to which I am deeply attached and which is part of the core of my work “Venezia anamorfica”.

This photo stems from my intimate and deep bond with Venice: for me, it is a place of the soul where matter becomes liquid and where space and time continuously dissolve. In this shot, I tried to visually translate this total decomposition through the gesture of intentional camera movement; the vaporetto loses its material rigidity to become a visual echo, a fragment of a dream suspended over the lagoon. It is the pursuit of my personal “aesthetics of doubt” that seeks to capture the essence of things beyond their appearance.

On a technical level, the photo was printed on a plotter in 400×50 cm dimensions, and was produced on Fine Art paper in only three copies on 80×60 cm sheets.
His same image is published inside my book “Venezia anamorfica / Venise anamorphique”, a volume that features the precious reflections of three friends: photographer Carlo Chiapponi, linguist Dominique Maingueneau, and philosopher Frédéric Cossutta.

This is a project that is giving me a lot of satisfaction and has already been exhibited:

• In Paris in 2024, at the Isola literary café;
• In Venice in 2024, in the splendid setting of Forte Marghera (former French powder magazine)
• At the Abbey of Saint-Jacut-de-la-Mer in 2025 (Brittany-France);
• And presented just this year, in 2026, at the Salon des Artistes in Dinard and at the SDAM Photo in Minihic-sur-Rance.
