Biography

I was born in Tuscany, in a small seaside town, and I spent my childhood and teenage years between Pisa — where I studied and lived with my parents — and Bolgheri, where my grandfather used to take me on his Vespa along the famous cypress-lined road.

My grandfather’s last name was Coppola — he was Sicilian, like my grandmother — and I was always intrigued by this coincidence with the famous American filmmaking family.

As an adult, I earned a degree in film history at the University of Pisa and fell in love with this art form, nourishing my passion with the works of Fellini, De Sica, Rossellini — and also the greats of American cinema: Chaplin, Scorsese, Coppola.
Growing up in Tuscany, I filled my eyes and soul with beauty — not only the gentle hills and the scent of the sea, but also the art and history that make this region so captivating.

Being able, through time and dedication, to turn this deep passion into my profession is something that fills me with joy every single day

My Work

In 2014, I co-founded Vertigo Wedding Films — a collaborative project with other filmmakers, created to pool our resources and make our way into the world of wedding videography.

Through this shared journey, I grew professionally, honing my filming and editing techniques, but also learning how to truly connect with couples on one of the most meaningful days of their lives. I had the chance to work with people from a wide range of nationalities and cultures, as well as with many talented vendors who help make this industry so vibrant — and who each year inspire thousands of couples to choose Italy for their destination wedding.

Living in Tuscany, one of the most sought-after wedding locations in the world, has allowed me to meet hundreds of couples. But I’ve also had the privilege of working in some of Italy’s most stunning destinations — from Lake Como, Venice, and Rome to Ravello, Puglia, and Taormina.

After 10 years with Vertigo, I felt the need to take a more personal and independent path — one that would allow me to fully express myself and shape each project with my own creative voice.

For me, building a real connection with every couple is essential. I genuinely grow attached to each story, knowing the deep trust they place in me. That’s why I pour care, attention, and love into every film I create — to ensure that what I deliver is not just a video, but a timeless memory that reflects and brings back the emotions they lived on their wedding day.
