Born in 1967, on Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons since 2021. My name is actually Giò. I was lucky enough to live in London in its richest and probably best period... (before 2017). I currently live happily in Italy, in Emilia Romagna.

I am an admirer of San Marino, being particularly attracted by its history, spectacular monuments, architecture, fortifications, and breathtaking overhanging towers.  I am an IT Manager and Security Advisor, with a passion for travel and photography.

I like to collaborate on Wikipedia documenting with my photographs topics related to architecture and art.

On Commons, I upload images with my smartphone, action camera and a Canon EOS M50 smart compact camera.

Today I use MILC (mirrorless) cameras almost exclusively using a very good Canon EF-M 55-200mm lens which guarantee the fidelity and distortion-free quality I am currently looking for, which is essential for my composition work.

All my technical choices and personal growth in the photographic field have been continuously fueled by the fact that I actively participate in the Wikimedia community, where I can chat with photographers with exceptional experience and expertise.
There are also administrators and collaborators who, thanks to their commitment, guarantee the platform's functioning.

Finally,
thank you all!

Doors and Portals

• 
  It is a wooden door created by Giorgio Razzani in 1631. It was the main entrance to the hospital known as the Santissimo Crocifisso hospital, built in the mid-15th century in Cesena at the behest of Malatesta Novello. It was rebuilt in 1776-95 by Agostino Azzolini following the original project. In the mid 19th century the palace was rebuilt again and once again this wooden monument is still there!
