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.

:.. REVIEWS

:.. Carlo Marraffa 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.
Carlo Marraffa (Former President of Ucai Roma, curator, photography teacher and visual   and graphic arts professional)
Rome, 10 November 2016 – Palazzo Maffei Marescotti (La Pigna Gallery – State Vatican)
