Born in Milan in 1987, he has travelled across oceans aboard historic sailing ships and boats for years, on the hunt for the earths’ most remote islands under the conviction that there are places capable of reflecting the human condition and the crisis of our time with a clarity that is impossible to find elsewhere.

In 2022 he completed a 52-day 5600-nautical-mile expedition across the southern Atlantic Ocean: from Ushuaia to Cape Town, with stops at Antarctica, South Georgia Island and Tristan da Cunha, one of the most inaccessible corners of Earth. In 2024 he returned to the sea for three months and 6500 nautical miles, from Easter Island to Fiji, stopping at Picairn, French Polynesia and Tonga. Rather than sporting expeditions, these were acts of witness: his goal is not to conquer milestones along a route, but to turn a gaze onto changing ecosystems, on the plastic arriving from everywhere, on people living in places that the rest of the world forgets to consider. The project Remoteness – Eyes to the Edge, which documents the globe’s most remote islands and the guardianship of the ocean, was born from these experiences, as well as the book Alla ricerca dell’isola che non c’è [Hunting for the island that isn’t there] (Mondadori, 2025).

The launch of the Remoteness Foundation is planned for May 2026. It’s mission is giving voice to the planet’s most isolated and insular communities, and bringing attention to the major environmental emergencies affecting them, from plastic pollution to the effects of the climate crisis.

Ambassador of One Ocean Foundation, he works with both the Italian and international media on topics to do with the sea, from exploration to sustainability; bringing attention to what the maps don’t show: distance not as absence, but as a point of privileged observation of the world.
