Entrance Door of Rocchetta Mattei by Antonio Biagiotti
My intent was to highlight the geometric diversity of the forms and planes of the entrance door of this castle. The architectural styles mix continuously in this castle, which despite having many Arabic references is located in the middle of the Italian Apennines. Furthermore, the contrast was perfect for creating a black and white photograph, with the large foreground in shadow and the saber of light on the courtyard, which transmits all the brilliant brightness of a wonderful sunny day in the Italian summer.

Since 2012, he has been happily married to Sara, his first supporter, but also a severe critic, who with her objective evaluations is a great impulse for him to grow and improve.
