CITIZENSHIP:
ITALIA

BIRTH:

INTRODUCTION

SHORT

BIOGRAPHY:

I

WAS

BORN

TO

TRAVEL

AND

PHOTOGRAPH

My

stage

name

is

‘ALEX

IL

VIAGGIATORE’

from

1978

to

the

present…
I

was

born

in

Rome

in

1972.

Passionate

about

travel,

photography,

archaeology

and

drawing,

I

began

cultivating

these

interests

as

a

child,

which

also

led

me

to

choose

a

course

of

study

in

this

field.

I

graduated

from

the

III

Liceo

Artistico

Statale

di

Roma

with

an

“Architecture”

address

in

1990,

and

then

specialised

as

a

professional

photographer

at

the

Accademia

Cromatica

di

Fotografia.

In

1991,

I

came

second

in

the

‘Ottica

Vasari

(1860)’

photography

competition

with

a

photo

of

Petra

(Jordan).

In

1998

I

qualified

as

a

‘Multimedia

Production

and

Image

Processing

Technician’

with

a

scholarship

at

the

Orao

Consortium

directed

by

the

well

–

known

Folco

Quilici.

My

teachers

were

Emanuele

Floridia

and

Renato

Rizzato

for

art

training,

and

FOLCO

QUILICI,

LUCA

TAMAGNINI,

Giorgio

COSULICH

de

Pecine,

PAOLO

SASSO

and

CARLO

MARRAFFA

for

photography.

During

my

formative

years

I

had

the

opportunity

to

personally

get

to

know

and

appreciate

Pier

Augusto

BRECCIA,

an

artist

of

international

renown,

considered
in

the

contemporary

art

world

as

the

Master

of

Hermeneutic

Painting

and

the

Prof.

PAOLO 

MORENO,

archaeologist,

scholar,

popularizer

and

teacher

of

Archeology

and

history

of

Greek

and

Roman

art

at

the

University

of

Roma

Tre.

In

the

field

of

tourism,

I

had

as

a

teacher

Dr.

Francesco

Granese,

former

Director

of

Confindustria

Assotravel,

specialised

in

Marketing

Strategy

and

Communication

in

tourism.

My

interest

in

travel

and

photography

led

me

to

develop

a

career

as

a 

photojournalist

in

Italy

and

abroad.

Over

the

years,

through

countless

photographs

and

drawings,

I

have

collected

real

–

life

sensations

and

experiences

that

led

me

to

first

launch

the

stage

name

“Alex

il

Viaggiatore”

on

the

web,

designing

its

logo

in

2003

and

choosing

it

in

2004

as

a

domain

for

non

–

profit

scientific

dissemination.

In 2003

I

participated

as

a

columnist

and

traveller

with

my

photos

of

Jordan

and

Syria

on

Sky

TV’s

first

digital

travel

channel

‘Marcopolo’

in

the

programme

‘Il

Milione’

hosted

by

Marco

Falaguasta,

an

Italian

actor,

playwright

and

director.

In

2007

I

received

the

‘Marca

Brasil’

from

Embratur

for

educational

purposes

and

projects

to

promote

Brazil

in

the

world.

I

have

received

national

and

international

recognition

by

participating

in

exhibitions

and

events

from

2015

to

the

present.

Since

2011,

I

have

set

up

and

curated

group

and

solo

exhibitions

in

galleries

and

other

exhibition

spaces.

My

passion

for

travelling

arose

from

my

curiosity

to

come

into

contact

with

different

places,

situations,

cultures,

and

people.

For

me,

there

is

no

journey

better

than

another,

because

every

journey

is

an

experience

that

shapes

you.

Before

leaving,

I

dream,

read,

document

and

organise

the

itinerary.

     The

confrontation

with

different

cultural

identities

indicates

a

desire

and  

ability

to

question

oneself

in

order

to

understand

and

adapt

to

different

contexts,
respecting

the

culture

and

environment

of

the

travel

destination.

To

better

render

what

I

have

said,

I

use

photography

or

drawing

as

testimony,

memory

and

remembrance

of

the

history

and

artistic,

architectural,

archaeological,

landscape

and

cultural

heritage

of

the

country

visited.

I

always

try

to

produce

original

and

quality

images,

always

using

a

sophisticated

language.

presentation

of

Alessandro

Fagiolo

solo

exhibition
This

is

the

exhibition

of

a

young

photographer,

Alessandro

Fagiolo,

who

is

good

with

a

capital

B

because

he

succeeds

very

well

in

taking

photographs,

using

equipment,
lighting

and

framing,

but

he

is

also

good

for

another

reason

that

makes

the

photographer

an

artist:
“The

photographer

sees

what

others

do

not

see”

and

indeed

in

all

the

works

he

presents

he

offers

us

something

more

that

goes

beyond

the

images.
