“I had the pleasure of working with Maria Vittoria for about three years, during which she served as the Audiovisual Officer on the APPLiA team. She brought a strong and identifiable brand identity to the communication work of the association, elevating our visual presence across all channels. Maria Vittoria is highly receptive to feedback, collaborative, and consistently propositive, bringing fresh ideas that enriched our projects. Beyond her excellent video and visual storytelling skills, she is also a talented photographer and successfully managed multiple photo coverage...”
My last time at the European Parliament in Brussels, to shoot for an event, January 2026
Hi, I'm Maria Vittoria ⋆˙⟡

How I work
Every project starts from a precise brief and is carried forward by hand — frame after frame, column after column — until it finds its rhythm.
I don't have a single style: every brand, every video has a different grain, and I look for it case by case instead of applying a formula. What stays constant is the method — understanding what an image needs to do before deciding how it should look.
Based in Turin, working wherever there's a story to edit: agencies, small independent brands, artists who need an outside eye on their own work.
