The Creature from Cusago

Oct 30, 2025

They say that in the summer of 1792, something unspeakable stirred in the woods around Cusago, a quiet town just beyond Milan. Locals began to whisper of a creature that came out only at night — La Bestia di Cusago, The Beast of Cusago. What followed was not rumor, but record…

The Painted House

Oct 29, 2025

I remember feeling dizzy as I left. I remember that, maybe for the first time, I was afraid of the passing of time…

A walk inside a novel

Oct 26, 2025

When I visited it, the place hadn’t been vandalized yet. It felt like stepping straight into the pages of Murakami’s Dance Dance Dance, with echoes of Kubrick and King hanging in the air. The whole complex was massive — endless hallways, silent rooms, a strange stillness that made time feel uncertain. But there was only one thing that truly stayed with me: the central hall. That room… I’ll never forget it.

Western Village

Oct 19, 2025

Western Village, tucked away near Nikkō, was once a full-scale Wild West theme park — a surreal slice of America deep in Japan. It opened in 1975, when Enichi Ominami decided to turn his family ranch into a living, breathing frontier town.

Back to Hasselblad

Sep 22, 2025

I’d grown bored with the Fuji GFX II. It’s an amazing machine, but I was missing the build quality of the Hasselblad…

Busy busy busy

Oct 21, 2024

Lately, I've been shooting a lot with the Fuji GFX, mainly using the 110mm lens for portrait and glamour photography. It's an incredible lens, and even more, the camera is super versatile. Sure, it’s a bit on the heavy side, but the image quality is outstanding. The film simulations really steal the show—it’s hard to beat.

I'm leaving

Jul 30, 2024

Hello everyone. After 25 years, 11 of which were spent working with Nintendo and an amazing community of players on Mario+Rabbids, I have decided to leave Ubisoft to embark on a new adventure.

Why are we enjoying taking street photos?

Jun 21, 2024

We enjoy taking street photos because it’s a way to capture the heartbeat of a city in its most authentic and spontaneous moments. There’s a thrill in wandering through urban landscapes, where every street corner and passerby holds a potential story.

My name is Ferrania

May 27, 2024

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…
