Roberto Bachis

Head of the Nikon School and Training Specialist.
He was born in Turin in 1969. After graduating in electronics and telecommunications, he worked for ten years in the industrial design and automation sector.
In 1998, with the advent of “digital photography", he was offered the opportunity to completely change his field of activity. He did not miss the great opportunity to join the large NITAL family. There he was initially in charge of the pre- and after-sales service.
In the meantime, the spread of digital photography increased exponentially, and numerous development and growth opportunities emerged. He became a marketing team member, took over the management of the Nikon School, and has organised and managed the Nikon Italia events over the past 12 years.
During these 25 years, he has had the opportunity to get to know very well everything about the world of photography in Italy: dealers, companies, professionals, associations and amateurs.
His journey through the 'technique and culture' of this wonderful universal language has been truly amazing.
