“I Fido You” shares the stories of extraordinary animals who refused to give up — and who now share the lives of the humans who love them.
These are not stories of rescue, but of renewal — proof that every life, when met with love, can begin again.

Antonella & Silver: “Silver and I are kindred souls. Adopting a puppy is love; adopting an adult dog is awareness. Silver teaches me that older animals, too, deserve to be loved.

Gianvito & Gastone. “Gastone came to us as an adult dog, full of energy and charm. He’s now a true member of the family, reminding us every day that adoption means learning from one another — endlessly.

Miriam & Alexa. “I always dreamed of caring for animals. Volunteering led me to Alexa — our bond was instant. I asked my parents to adopt her, and now she’s part of the family. She’s my little sister in spirit, teaching me empathy.

Ritanna & Isidoro. “Despite his condition causing uncomfortable itching, Isidoro is a lively and affectionate cat. Watching the world through the window calms him. Two years with him brought joy during difficult times.

There’s a language older than words — spoken in glances, gestures, and gentle touch.
“I Fido You” was born from that shared language between humans and animals — a language of kindness that unites us beyond species or circumstance..

Lucia & Dante. “Volunteering brings both joy and pain. Dante, a cat who lost the use of his back legs, is incredibly strong. Though his care is demanding, our love for him is unconditional. He reminds us daily what true resilience looks like.”

Piera, Tony & Their Furry Family. “Our family keeps growing all the time! Sheva lost a paw in an accident, yet his spirit never dimmed. Together we live in harmony — proof that peace, love, and pets can support one another.

Giuseppe & Nina. “Nina was found injured on a dangerous road. I met her during an adoption event — and that was it, she became family. Once fearful, she’s now a happy, loyal companion who even joined me on my wedding day. She’s truly special.”

Maria & Bella. “When I met Bella it was love at first sight. Our connection was instant. Bella gave me back the joy I had lost; my life is brighter thanks to her.”

Maria Teresa, Bonnie & Clyde. “I couldn’t have cats as a child, but volunteering fulfilled that dream. Bonnie and Clyde won my heart — playful, curious, affectionate. Every cat I meet brings joy. I wish each one a loving family of their own.”

Trust & Healing
“I Fido You” celebrates these moments of mutual healing. It reminds us that every act of care restores two lives — one human, one animal. Each image in this series captures a quiet miracle: the courage to love again.

Fonte & Stellina. From the very start, Stellina and I shared an unspoken bond of trust. She loves cuddles and gives pure love in return. Though now an elderly dog with serious health problems, she keeps fighting — always kind, always gentle.

Ilaria & Mafalda. Volunteering at the San Francesco shelter has shown me the deep bond that grows between people and pets. Mafalda was looking for a home at the time of this photoshoot. She is now happy with her new family.
