I’ve always been very interested in all aspects of the natural world and fascinated by its diversity. Since 2013 I’ve started taking photos at all kinds of lifeforms I came across, with a particular interest in marine life, arthropods and plants.

I have some years of experience in the identification of fishes, especially the Mediterranean and Atlantic species.
I am also specializing in the identification of European spiders, and currently I am reviewing older observations with incorrect IDs.
I created the “Biodiversità in Abruzzo” project (https://www.inaturalist.org/projects/biodiversita-in-abruzzo), that puts together all the observations made in Abruzzo and I’m doing my best to help with the identification of the organisms found in the region, especially mountain plants and arthropods.

I try to find and photograph uncommon or endemic species and I hope that my observations can provide some new information and improve the current knowledge of such organisms.
I’d like to thank a lot all the experts who have been identifying my observations so far.
