I have been working as photographer for many years around the world. I was born in Rome, but I live in Brazil, Rio de Janeiro, where I work as freelance for European and Brazilian media, both as journalist and photographer. In these last years I have started working also as video maker for some European TV channels.

England fans who fall foul of the police during the World Cup have been warned they face spending time in Brazil's notoriously overcrowded and violent prisons.

Earlier this year, Fifa issued advice to travelling fans about laws they could inadvertently break in Brazil, which included a warning that topless sunbathing by women was illegal and could result in prison.
Brazil also has a zero tolerance law against drink-driving, known as “lei seca”. Earlier this week, police in Belo Horizonte, which will host England’s final group game against Costa Rica, announced tougher procedures for dealing with foreigners caught drink driving.
