The Art of Italian Cinematography and Beyond

Alessio Ciaffardoni

He graduated from the Experimental Center of Cinematography in Rome in the three-year period 2001-2003, a course coordinated by Maestro Giuseppe Rotunno. His passion for photography began at a very young age, attending darkroom courses at the Osvaldo Licini Art School in Ascoli Piceno. He initially worked as a black-and-white photographer and printer, but almost immediately became interested in the language and technique of film. After graduating from the Experimental Center, he began working in the camera department, mostly in the role of Assistant Operator/Focus Puller. He collaborates with numerous Italian cinematographers, including Mauro Marchetti(Benvenuti a Tavola 2010, L’erede 2009, Boris 2010), Ferran Paredez Rubio(Perez 2014, Non uccidere 2015, Monitor 2015) and Luca Bigazzi(Loro 2018, The New Pope 2019). From 2019 he began signing photography for documentaries, short films and television series, including: Di4ri 2022 Netflix, The Chronicles of Nanaria 2023 RaiPlay, Riv4li 2025 Netflix.
