HEAD OF THE LION                                                                                                         

You just have to jump. But it doesn’t hurt, trust me.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 Between 2011 and 2017 I spent some time with a crew of young skateboarders from the suburbs of Catania, my hometown in Sicily, Italy. Throughout summer they used to hang out at the Testa ro Liuni (Head of the Lion) a lava rock cliff from where they would jump off to show that they were no longer kids.

In 2018 I was selected by British Journal of Photography for Ones to Watch Talent Issue.
The same year Head of the Lion became a book with Cesura Publish.
