The Artwork

The work depicts Pomodoro’s Sun sculpture in Piazza Meda, Milan, and was created for my solo photography exhibition titled "Milan Through My Eyes" in 2015, held at L’Originale, Via Luigi Rossari 5, Milan (corner of Borgospesso).

The Artist

After various experiences as a photographer—particularly focused on nature (gardens that are especially beautiful or botanically interesting) and art (sculptures, contemporary and classical paintings, vernissages…)—he began to explore new paths that increasingly led him to engage with his own creativity. His aim is to experiment, discover new ideas, and play with what deeply fascinates him: the evocative use of light and the revealing and rediscovering of forms and elements that are part of our daily reality. These are often overlooked because they seem too ordinary to be noticed, yet paradoxically, they can also be too sublime (from the Latin sublimis, meaning "that which is on the edge" or "that which reaches just below the highest threshold") to be fully grasped by the human intellect.

His interest in photography developed early in life, when he began assisting his father, Roberto Ciaccio—an artist and philosopher—in preparing exhibitions and art catalogues. He immediately displayed a deep passion for materials, colors, light, and shapes. He initially trained at Giorgio Upiglio’s printmaking studio, where he had the opportunity to collaborate on the production of original editions. Later, he would work with several photographers and videomakers he met over the years in his father’s atelier.
