"There's something truly unique about a mountain that makes photographing them really special - the way they stand upward, alone and surrounded by breathtaking views.
"It makes me feel free and alive.
"The charm of this world doesn't only come from the photograph though - there's something special about travelling to beautiful places and coming home with a beautiful photograph to show for it."
Some of Andrea's favourite pictures were taken in the Italian Dolomites - considered to be among the wonders of the natural world but he believes he's been blessed to photograph such a beautiful country.
He said: "Italy has so many stunning places and landmarks to photograph - starting from the Dolomites or the Abruzzo to the charming Campo Imperatore.
"I'm blessed to live in such a beautiful country with so many stunning places to explore."
