Fabiano Ventura is a landscape photographer and cultural project manager, renowned for his international scientific communication projects focused on climate change and the relationship between humans and the environment.
Founder and President of Macromicro APS – ETS, for more than fifteen years he has developed and directed multidisciplinary initiatives that integrate photography, scientific research, visual arts, geographical exploration, cultural production, and public outreach, coordinating international teams of researchers, photographers, filmmakers, designers, museum curators, and communication professionals.
His photographic research is rooted in the concept of the relationship between macrocosm and microcosm – a concept that inspired the name of the association he founded in 2009 – and evolves through a visual narrative that combines aesthetics, scientific observation, and environmental reflection.
Among his major projects is On the Trail of the Glaciers, one of the most comprehensive international comparative photography projects dedicated to documenting the effects of climate change on the world’s mountain glaciers. Developed over a period of fifteen years through expeditions to the Karakoram, the Caucasus, Alaska, the Andes, the Himalayas, and the Alps, the project combines historical image research, geographical exploration, contemporary photography, and scientific data collection to document the transformation of glacial ecosystems.
Building upon this experience, Ventura conceived Shifting Sea, a new international program dedicated to investigating the impacts of climate change on marine and coastal ecosystems, continuing his commitment to the development of scientific and educational projects focused on environmental issues.
Throughout his career, he has collaborated with scientific institutions, universities, museums, public organizations, and international companies, establishing strategic partnerships with organizations including UNESCO, the European Space Agency (ESA), the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Politecnico di Torino, the University of Milan, Sapienza University of Rome, Enel Green Power, Fondazione Cariplo, National Geographic, Epson, Sony, La Sportiva, and Montura.
Ventura also curates international exhibitions dedicated to environmental awareness and science communication. In 2022, he conceived and curated Earth’s Memory – Glaciers, Witnesses of the Climate Crisis at Forte di Bard (Aosta Valley, Italy), a large-scale multimedia exhibition developed in collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA) and under the patronage of UNESCO. He also created the exhibition Italian Routes – Mountains, Mountaineering, Climate Change for the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, which has been presented in fourteen museums and cultural institutions worldwide in collaboration with Italian Embassies and Italian Cultural Institutes.
His works are included in the permanent collections of La Farnesina (headquarters of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Rome), Forte di Bard (Aosta Valley, Italy), the Museum of Science and Technology in Vienna, and the Lumen Museum at Kronplatz/Plan de Corones (South Tyrol, Italy). His projects have been exhibited in major Italian and international cultural institutions, including UNESCO Headquarters in Paris, FAO Headquarters in Rome, the Milan Triennale, the Messner Mountain Museum (Bolzano, Italy), Klima Arena (Sinsheim, Germany), and the Museum of Fine Arts in Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam).
