Born in Buenos Aires to Italian parents, but moved to Italy at the age of 6. Acquires syn as a child I had a passion for drawing and art.
His interest is stimulated by his family and he graduated with full marks from the Medardo Rosso Art School in Lecco. He continued his studies in architecture, obtaining his degree with a thesis on Antoni Gaudì, with Prof. Celestino Soddu and for some years he will be an assistant for architectural composition courses.
He will never undertake a freelance profession as an architect: first he works in the studio of architecture Dante Benini & Partners of Milan and then joins Arup, the well-known engineering firm English, where he still holds the role of senior architect.
He has worked on various projects over the years international relevance in particular in the recent areas of urban planning intervention in the city of Milan such as: Porta Nuova, Portello and City Life.
Over the years he has maintained a strong connection with art, essentially drawing and painting, and many he was sometimes confronted with the affirmation of his artistic self. His references that inspired him most and sometimes contaminated him in technique and meaning aesthetic, ranging from the underground comics of the 70s/80s (Tanino Liberatore, Gean Giraud Moebius), to illustrious names such as: Henri Rousseau, Francis Bacon, Roland Topor, Chuck Close.
Photographic realism and detail are some of the elements that are almost always recognizable in his most recent works.
