Leica History
Leica Camera AG is a German company that manufactures cameras, optical lenses, photographic lenses, binoculars, rifle scopes and microscopes. The company was founded by Ernst Leitz in 1869 (Ernst Leitz Wetzlar) in Wetzlar Germany.
In 1986, the Leitz company changed its name to Leica, due to the fame of the Leica trade-name. The name Leica is derived from the first three letters of the founder’s surname (Leitz) and the first two of the word camera: lei-ca (LEItz CAmera).

I’m a Freelance Photographer Born in Bologna Italy where I live, although consider me a citizen of the world, I found personal expression taking reportage photos to many countries land… in Europe, Middle East, Africa, North and South America, Asia, Oceania and Italy of course. I believe that travel broadens one’s view of the world, makes you more tolerant, and reflects on our way of living and thinking.
