Carlo Landucci is born in 1963 at Castiglion Fiorentino (AR). As impassioned biker has participated to important national and international competitions of enduro and motocross, moments in which he experiments his first photographic experiences.

The real activity of press-photographer starts subsequently with the trips in Africa side of his friend pilots Fabrizio Meoni  in the glorious years of the Paris-Dakar. Carlo immediately falls in love with the African Continent. The great spaces, the silences, the wild nature, but especially the faces of children, conquer him to the point that all his efforts to come will be dedicated to the support of this land and it's people.
