Here I am, Fabio Mirulla, born in 1986 in Tuscany, in a small village near Florence, Siena and Arezzo where I still live now with my wife in our house in the countryside.
We met in Siena while I was studying at University and even if it might sound weird for a photographer, I got a degree in Archaeology.
I love art, every kind of it, from the use of light in XVII century paintings to the way modern artists see the world through their art works.
I love travelling, especially with my old Mini and my Vespa and discovering new amazing places around me, those spots that are not on road maps and are unknown for most of the people.
I enjoy reading Superheroes comics and watching cartoons, you're never to old for them, or for collecting Lego as I do.
