Rossana Ruggiero.
I
was born in Delemont in Switzerland in 1971.
I
moved with my family to Italy, my homeland a few months later and I grew up in
Salerno.
I
studied at the University of Siena, where I graduated in Economics and Banking,
I moved to Arezzo for work in 2004.
My
passion for photography began in 2001; I learn both by participation in workshop
in the field, both supporting professionals, and by studying and attending
technical courses.
In
recent years I have chosen photography as a means of artistic and professional
expression.
My first solo exhibition dates back to March 2014. I currently work in the photographic collective "La Pieve" with which I participate in group exhibitions and carry on my personal photographic research.
