Lucio was born in Naples, Italy.
He soon develops an interest for the photographic camera when his father hands him one at the age of 6 to take a family portrait. A passion, he says, that inevitably and cathartically brought him to meet filmmaking for its composition and moving light: a movement he retains to be the reflection of the energy one governing the Universe.
His creed leads him to move to London at the age of 21, where he studies ‘Fine Art Photography’ at the ‘Central Saint Martin’s’. Soon after and for a year and a half he exhibits his esoterical work in various art galleries around the city. This will lead him to work as ‘interior photographer’ for various english and american magazines, for his ability to capture the essence of a space. This is the period in which he has an important encounter that defines not only the development of his technique but also for furthering his career. In fact he meets up and establishes a long work relationship with Daniele Puppi with whom he will accomplish almost 20 Video Installations in the space of 4 years.
Since then Lucio has always worked as a Director of Photography for numerous shortfilms, features, pop promos and commercials engaging him in a tour around the world.
In the year 2000 Lucio decides to pursuit his childhood dream: making films! And the ‘BA Hons Film & Video’ at the ‘London College of Communication’ serves him the purpose to graduate with ‘Upper First Class with Honours’ specialising as ‘Cinematographer’ with the shorts ‘The Innocents’, which he also co-produced shot on ‘S16mm’, and the short ‘Jamie and the Red Balloon’ shot on ‘Full HD’ that gave him the title of first student in cinematography in Europe using the ‘Varicam System’.
His work has been appreciated in many festivals spread around the globe and among the lasts with ‘Zebra Crossing’, ‘Karma Crime Passion Reincarnation’ and ‘The Secret of Tressette’ is collecting recognitions and awards. However at the end of 2006 he has come back to Naples, his native land, to give voice to his more intimate, furthermore collective, displeasure by writing directing and shooting ‘The Secret of Tressette’, a short film shot on S16mm that for its highly topical issues, around the problem of Dioxines in the surrounding area of Naples, acquires the ‘National Cultural Interest’ mentioned by the ‘National Heritage of Italian Culture Ministry’. From here Lucio proposes himself to sustain his outcry with new projects in parallel to what is his career forever dreamed.
