Pasquale Vassallo
Voice of the Ocean Judge
Book Festival Speaker
Pasquale Vassallo was born in Naples,
Italy, in 1970, and as a young boy, was in
love with the ocean, freediving to search
for sea urchins and octopuses. Over the
years, his passion for the seas has evolved
into the pure exploration of the underwater
world. With his first underwater camera, a
Nikonos III, he devoted himself completely
to underwater photography in 1989, focusing
on images of biological interest, fostered by
the richness of the seabeds of the Gulf of
Naples. Since then, to expand his portfolio,
he has undertaken numerous trips to the
most beautiful destinations for underwater
photography around the world.
