Born in Salerno, a city kissed by the sun and the sea, I undertook artistic studies with a particular focus on archaeological restoration.

Growing up in a family of artists, I had the privilege of being immersed in the artistic environment from a young age. My father, Antonio, a talented painter, passed on his knowledge and techniques to me, introducing me to the world of drawing and painting.

My first artistic experiences included frequent trips to the workshop of my grandfather, a skilled Neapolitan craftsman, where I was able to admire his work on nativity scenes and oil paintings depicting the sea.

In 2005, I moved to Assisi, where I had the opportunity to meet the master Elvio Marchionni, an expert in material art and the use of ancient plaster techniques.

The meeting with maestro Marchionni broadened my artistic horizons, introducing me to action painting and the various creative possibilities offered by the use of colours, fabrics and plaster. Currently, I reside on the shores of Lake Bracciano, a place that constantly inspires me in my artistic journey.
