As a resident of Milan for five enriching years, I've had the opportunity to travel throughout Italy. These extensive journeys laid the foundation for the serendipitous encounters captured in these photographs.

This small series of black and white photographs is not merely a visual documentation of faces; rather, it is a testament to the small connections forged with each individual. Each frame encapsulates a fleeting moment where our paths converged.

What sets this collection apart is the genuine warmth and openness of the Italians who, with a nod or a smile, agreed to be captured through my lens. In these portraits, you will find more than just faces, you will discover the unspoken camaraderie that arises when strangers become willing participants in the art of connection.
