Welcome!
My name is Fulvio Silvestri and I'm a cycling photographer based in north-western Italy.
Although I'm not sure what that means, I can tell you that cycling and photography have been
long-standing, driving passions that have blended into one thing and which keep taking me to places
where I totally feel at one with nature and the people I meet.Please feel free to take a look at this little box full of random visual ideas
of bicycle-related trips and encounters past and present, near and remote,
and do not hesitate to get in touch via the contact form in the menu if you need any info!all photos © fulvio silvestri

“Ci sono tanti modi per viaggiare e attraversare il mondo, ma per Fulvio ne esiste solamente uno: pedalare.
L’uomo con la valigia
Il suo è un approccio lento, rispettoso e sostenibile, un incedere che calza a pennello al concetto di esplorazione, dove qualsiasi elemento di separazione dal paesaggio limita quell’immersione totale nei luoghi a cui aspira ogni volta.” -
“Le tue foto ci fanno sempre sognare, Fulvio!”
(dalla trasmissione Capital in the walkman)
Radio Capital -
“Cycling photographer Fulvio Silvestri is a modern daydreamer who finds himself balancing on the edge between the quiet life of a provincial teacher and photographer, and the adventurous wanders of a restless, long-distance bicycle traveller and old school landscape photography enthusiast!”

la poderosa
Fulvio calls me La Poderosa (The Powerful) because of the countless kilometres of off-road rides in Iceland, Norway, Croatia, England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Corsica and Morocco (so far). In case you’re wondering, I’m a heavy-duty steel bike.
nano
They say I’m a small size dog but I believe I’m a Rottweiler. So much so that the vet that saw me for the first time was pretty confused about my colours and proportions.
me
I was born on a Monday but I’m not a Monday person. I love the crackling sound of dry leaves when the front wheel of my bike rolls over them.
As a kid I was mad about Lego.
