GIOVANNI BIGAZZI
Born in Florence, where he lives and works, Giovanni Bigazzi has always combined his passion for photography to the music, so to be considered the first "music for the eyes", as, in his opinion, the evocative power of one unit is assimilated to that exciting sound.
In the mid-nineties, not yet twenty, Giovanni Bigazzi begins to express his curiosity about the colors and reflections of Nature: realizes impromptu photographs along country roads and the sea moving with the motor, or by walking through the woods and beaches and leaving surprised by the views, the particular, from the images of the surrounding environment.

In recent years Giovanni Bigazzi began to present his photographs in various Italian cities and abroad with solo exhibitions: his work also makes use of music as an integral part of some of its projects, which creates a dynamic combination between picture and sound.
