Inside fort Foppa Grande
















I am a Visual Storytelling Producer specialising in long-form and serialised multimedia productions. I collaborate with journalists to improve tools and workflows across languages, ensure content style compliance, and lead the research and implementation of innovative visual techniques. Born in Italy and raised in Africa, I now call Switzerland home. I studied film directing at the Italian National Film School and worked as a documentary editor and director/producer in Berlin and Vienna. I specialise in crafting multimedia into engaging narratives.
The position of the Swiss fort, at 1,540 metres above sea level on the southern side of the Gotthard pass, allows for keeping watch over the Val Formazza, in Italy. The building was completed in 1942 and subsequently extended. It can shelter around 50 men. (Photos: Carlo Pisani, swissinfo.ch)
