Massimo RipaniMassimo Ripani was born in Milan, finding a passion for photography at a young age. He nurtured this passion constantly, first attending the IED and then, in 1990, dedicating five years to learning the rudiments in an atelier in the city centre, mainly dealing with jewelry and packaging. His life took a strong turn starting in 1990 with the collaboration of Humer Images of Garmisch-Partenkirchen, specializing in stock travel, and also with the birth of the magazines Bell'Italia and Bell'Europa by Giorgio Mondadori, where he still collaborates.
