Massimilano was born in Formia, a city located on the coast of Italy, halfway between Naples and Rome. He obtained a BA in Literature and Philosophy at La Sapienza University in Rome, and after that he continued his studies in yacht design. It was then that his need to express himself led him to photography, which he would develop in a self-taught way until he attended higher studies in Artistic Photography in Barcelona. Probably that previous knowledge, in other areas of knowledge, fostered a deep interest in the relationship of images and the medium that builds them. Not surprisingly, a large part of his production always leads to the intimate processes that allow the external and the internal to be connected. His proposals are based on specific concepts, which however allow the viewer a level of subjective dialogic interpretation with each work.
Like any artist, his process has been a constant search, not only with regard to the concepts that he intends to develop, but also at the level of photographic experimentation. The benefit of digital technologies has allowed him to experiment and acquire skills through the wide range of his options, a first step that has also facilitated a more continuous and direct relationship with photography. His proximity to analog cameras and the darkroom was later, also developing techniques such as cyanotype, salty paper, pinhole, etc.
