ABOUT THE PROJECT
Ordinary people, Extraordinary stories
We’ve been taught to look far and wide for greatness, forgetting that the immense often hides in the folds of an ordinary life. Storytellus is about giving a voice to those who don’t make the headlines, but carry stories that belong to us all.
Through black and white photography and written storytelling, I document people, cultures and places. I’m not only looking for those who have faced something extraordinary, I’m looking for anyone who has something to teach. A choice, a habit, a way of seeing the world: any experience, even the simplest one, can inspire whoever encounters it.
Every story is a mirror. Observing others with care is the only way to better understand ourselves, and to remind us that a more humane world is still possible.
ABOUT ME
Hi everyone! I'm Matteo,
I’m a photographer and storyteller. For over a year I’ve been traveling across Asia without taking a single flight, slowly, discovering cultures, places and people who have something to share and something to teach.
You only truly know a place when you meet the people who live there. That’s why with Storytellus I don’t just show you places, I take you inside the lives of those who inhabit them.
In September 2026 I’ll set off by bicycle from Southeast Asia with one destination: Italy. It’s called The Long Way Home, a documentary journey exploring what home really means when you’re exactly where you want to be, how a trip like this transforms you physically and mentally, and how the world and the people in it can enrich you along the way.
In the meantime, take a seat. Look around. The stories speak.
