Costanzo Idini was born in Sassari, Sardinia in 1962. He worked in Italy as an events photographer for 10 years before moving to Ireland in 1996.
He has travelled to South America twice: to Argentina and Brazil for six weeks in 2003 and to Argentina,Bolivia,Uruguay and Brazil for three months in 2007/2008 and also 2008/2009.On that occasion he came into contact with the harsh social realities of street children and marginalised communities and became acquainted with community workers, which triggered his interest in documenting these issues and, if possible, drawing greater media attention to them.
He is also the co-founder of La Catedral Studios/The Back Loft, and has been running artists' studios since 1997.
