Giovanni graduated in Food Science and Technologies and in Photography. It was his photography qualification that first got him into the field of art, with numerous exhibitions in places such as Ravenna, Modena, Genova, Roma, Acireale, San Sebastian in Spain and Dhaka in Bangladesh. He also secured a couple of artistic residencies in Basque Country and Norway as well as had books published and working with companies from UNESCO in Ethiopia to Dead Meat clothing and also OnOff, a photo agency based in Rome.

Presently working in the field of sound, Giovanni's influence as a photographer lends itself perfectly to composing his sonic explorations. The infinite universe of sound is as long and broad as the visual possibilities available in photography.
His work with sound is based around this ethos as not only is there an infinite world of sound available to explore, there is also the wider capabilities unlocked through digital and realtime signal processing.
