My name is Ferrania

My name is Ferrania, and my story begins in the distant year of 1923, when I was founded as Società Anonima Film in Ferrania, a small town in Liguria. My primary goal was to produce photographic and cinematic films, a rapidly growing sector at the time. Soon, my name became synonymous with quality and innovation in the field of film production…

Fujifilm X100VI - A portable beauty

In the ever-evolving landscape of photography, where bulky equipment once reigned supreme, the Fuji X100VI emerges as a beacon of innovation and practicality. As an avid photographer, I've often found myself drawn to the beauty of capturing moments spontaneously, without the encumbrance of lugging around hefty gear, even if, n the last years, both with the X2D and the GFX 100ii, I was doing the exact opposite.

Out of my comfort zone

Lately, I was determined to do something crazy, and so I ended up doing it. I had been eyeing the 250mm lens for GFX for a while, and finally, I decided to buy it. It's a lens from five years ago, not the latest, but it's still an ultra-performing lens, a true pleasure to use. The advantage of buying a lens from a few years back is that it's likely available used, and that was the case for me, turning out to be a great deal…

Mr Whimsy and the pink truck

In a quiet little town named Lioncastle, there was a mysterious pink truck known as the "Sweet Cadorina Express." The truck was adorned with a cute, funny face painted on its front, and on its sides, the words "Cake Party" were written in whimsical letters accompanied by delightful drawings of ice cream cones and slices of cake…

In the shadow of the Momumental

In the historical and cultural significance of the cemetery contributes to the storytelling aspect of photography. Each monument has its own narrative, reflecting the lives and legacies of the individuals buried there. This creates a rich tapestry of visual stories that photographers can capture through their lenses.

A poem for Tokyo

In Tokyo's vibrant streets, a tapestry unfolds,

A cityscape of wonders, where tales are told.

Amidst the neon lights and bustling crowds,

Beauty in diversity, where culture enshrouds.

This was one of the first pieces I learned with my teacher. The challenge lies in the fact that it lasts almost five minutes, and when you’re just starting out—like I was—you tend to press way too hard on the bass strings. That’s exactly why this piece is such a great exercise: it teaches you not to do that. Otherwise, you won’t make it past four minutes before your left hand starts to hurt.

I'm butchering it, sorry Flea and sorry real bassists out there. At least, pushing it for the last two months made me able to play it. Its far from perfect, there's are indecisions and imprecisions along the way, but still a small milestone for me :D

On December 11th, 2025, we had the incredible fortune of premiering our first trailer at The Game Awards, thanks to Geoff Keighley. From that moment on, a lot changed. The trailer was a great success. I will never stop being amazed at how much a developer’s life can change when players show their support. It’s truly powerful — in every sense.

La Filanda has become my go-to place for photography. Not only does it offer many different spaces to explore—each with its own character and expressive potential—but there’s also a very important factor: the economic impact on the wallets of amateur photographers like me. I do photography purely for fun. I don’t make money from it—if anything, I only spend money…
