Eric Scaggiante, aka eric.persona, is 21 and he’s born and raised in Venice. His short life has been characterized by few simple passions: ride bicycles, fall in love, bake tiramisù, have fun, and observe reality. Since he was a child was easier to see him on a bicycle than standing on his legs. This passion is crucial, lead him to know almost every person he knows today, and gave him his first real job for a bicycle company based in Bergamo, where he moved immediately after high school. Then, with the first salary, in November 2019 Eric bought his first and current camera; from that moment as well as looking at the reality as it is, he started to shoot it looking for its beauty and craziness.
About VE – words by Eric Scaggiante:
When covid came up, I was in Bergamo, then in March 2020 I moved back to Venice to spend the quarantine at home with my father. When on 4th May 2020 quarantine restrictions were slightly relaxed, I started had walked in Venice, alone with my camera, shooting people, animals, and anything I found interesting. Venice, that special and unique gem that I have ever had out of my doorstep, became my favorite place at all, so interesting for the living being which lives Her, doesn’t matter if those are tourists or true Venetians, humans or animals. This series includes a few of my favorite shots.
