AION Magazine

Aion is a Hellenistic deity symbolizing time in its eternal, boundless, and cyclical form. He is often associated with the celestial sphere tHAt encompasses the universe and the zodiac. In Aion’s conception, time is not linear but ritualistic and recurring — the future emerges as a return of the past, a notion later conceptualized as aevum.

The logo for Aion Magazine features a large, stylized letter 'A' in light pink on a black background, with the words 'Aion Magazine' written below in smaller, uppercase white letters.

AION Magazine was born by chance. The idea took shape at EICMA 2021, after discovering Royal Enfield’s Project Origin. What began as a photographic project celebrating the brand gradually evolved into something larger: a magazine and an ongoing editorial project. AION is a space dedicated to the subjects I love, where motorcycles, art, lifestyle, culture and more meet through photography and storytelling. Its approach looks to the future while respecting the past — combining contemporary design and new ways of communicating with the value of knowledge, authenticity and thoughtful storytelling. AION is not simply a magazine. It is an evolving project, shaped by ideas and driven by curiosity.

AION MAGAZINE - N°0 - ROYAL ENFIELD

This first issue of AION Magazine is dedicated to Royal Enfield — the “Number 0” of a project born from a passion for motorcycles and the people who live them. Royal Enfield has always held a special place in my personal story, from the dreams of riding one with my best friend as a teenager to the influence of my father’s passion for two wheels. The idea for this issue took shape after discovering Royal Enfield’s Project Origin prototype at EICMA 2021 — the same year the brand celebrated its 120th anniversary. With its extraordinary heritage, distinctive design and unique identity, Royal Enfield felt like the perfect subject to begin this new editorial journey. This issue also explores the connection between the brand’s British roots and its Indian heart, through conversations with the people who bring Royal Enfield to life. Across more than 8,000 kilometres, their shared passion creates a sense of community that goes far beyond borders. This is my first step into the world of publishing — an independent attempt to tell the story of an iconic motorcycle brand with curiosity, authenticity and passion.

AION MAGAZINE - N°1 - (Hephaestus), God of Craftsmanship

“Hephaestus, God of Craftsmanship” is a photographic project celebrating Italian craftsmanship through the people who preserve it. The project was born after the publication of AION Magazine’s first issue in 2022. Following that collaboration, Royal Enfield provided me with a Himalayan motorcycle, which became part of the visual journey through Rome and the Lazio region. At the heart of the project are the hands of the artisans — marked by years of work, knowledge and tradition. Their craft represents a connection between past and future: techniques passed down through generations, now meeting modern tools and processes. This idea is reflected in the visual language of the project, combining analog and digital photography. A Rolleiflex and 120 film were used for portraits of the artisans and their workshops, while digital photography documented them at work, focusing on their hands. The project features 15 Italian artisans across different crafts, from bronze working and leatherworking to watchmaking, blacksmithing, lutherie and restoration. Over 2,000 km across Rome and Lazio, the project resulted in 166 photographs, creating a visual journey through Italian craftsmanship, heritage and the people who keep it alive.
