His work has been exhibited at institutions, festivals, and venues dedicated to contemporary photography, including FMAV – Fondazione Modena Arti Visive, Cardelli&Fontana, the Festival of Landscape Documentation and Narrative in Cuneo, DiecixDieci Festival, and the Museo e Parco Archeologico Nazionale di Locri Epizefiri.
