Hi, I am Roberto

 I am a professional musician (a classical organist), seriously interested in photography since 2007.

Just like when I perform concerts in the largest cathedrals of the world, immersed in centuries of architectural history, I live the exact same feeling when I'm temporary witness of the immense scenarios of the Alps, where the play of light unravels the mystery, like the mystical sound of the organ in a Gothic nave, creating forms and suggestions in the millennial natural scenery of "our" planet.

The act of reaching a summit for me doesn't make much sense if it is not part of a complete alpine experience, like living the mountain at all hours and being able to solve problems related to the survival on the spot (find water, prepare a shelter for the night, etc). Because, in my point of view, only this elements have an authentic charm, and can transform what could be just a sporting activity in a complete life lesson. There is no "conquest" in the mountains, there is only inner search, opportunity to get rid of the superfluous focusing all senses on what really counts in life.

As a matter of fact, the pictures posted in this website can be considered like the top of an "iceberg" that symbolizes a personal path of continuous and deep research about the ancient mysteries of this world and the universe.

Sometimes I think that photography is just a personal excuse to return in certain places, look for new ones... and so continue the "endless journey".

 I am conscious concerning the difficulties to render, respectfully, in a single image, all the magnificence I see, on place, with my own eyes....

That's why I am devoting a profound sense of discipline and responsibility in this activity, as a due tribute to the wonderful places I am visiting and also because I can't stand the idea of wasted beauty.

Sometimes I am successful in my efforts, other times less...

In any case I feel as interacting with impermanence, somehow "freezing in time" landscapes that will never appear the same again, in a constant immense flux of no fixed nature.
