I am a Rome-based videographer and video producer with 10+ years of experience delivering high-quality productions for Italian and international clients. My work spans brand films, corporate video, documentaries, and event coverage — always with a strong emphasis on visual craft and clear storytelling.
My short film Game won at Larissa International Film Festival and competed in the official selection at Venice Film Week and Brussels Independent Film Festival. That same standard of precision and visual quality carries through to every commercial and commissioned project I take on.
What I do:
• Brand and corporate video production
• Event videography (conferences, corporate events, cultural festivals)
• Documentary and narrative-driven content
• Post-production, editing, and professional color grading
I manage projects end-to-end — from concept and pre-production through filming, editing, and final delivery. Depending on the project, I work as lead videographer and producer, or integrate into larger agency and international production teams.
I am regularly sought out by brands and agencies that need a reliable, English-speaking video producer based in Rome for on-location productions across Italy. I also provide remote post-production and editing services for international clients.
Tools: DaVinci Resolve · Adobe Premiere Pro
Core skills: Cinematography · Camera operation · On-set direction · Video production management · Editing · Color grading
If you need a videographer or video producer in Rome — or a post-production partner you can trust remotely — I'd be glad to hear about your project.
