Born in 1955 in Bergamo, I attended the evening Surveyor School and simultaneously started working at first in an architecture study as a simple technical designer (thus was my way of “make design”) and then in a high level company of custom-made furniture, settled down in early century.
This new world strenghtened my still green creativity: I met daily clients and professionals, international too, who got in touch with the company thanks to its competence and professionalism. This aspect, together with the need of company organization, allowed me to better my skills, my abilities but, moreover, to find great pleasure in realizing design for inside. So I was free to develop projects closer to the artistic experience than to the traditional one.
After the entry to the Faculty of Architecture in Milan, I set up a study with some friends; I went on with design for inside, which better suited my professional training, but above all I work now for building.
I generally recover and renovate old buildings, using natural materials and bio-architecture.
At the university I methodically deepened my skills in various aspects, from the design to the industrial design to the territorial planning.

My background, full of experiences, has allowed me to work for many projects of building renovation, preservation and restoration: inside design for private and contract use (offices, shops, public places, hotels, naval furniture) consulting for home and contract companies, teaching in professional schools and courses.
