Venezia, Fontego dei turchi Drawing

My family comes from a small town near Venice, Italy and I’m the youngest of 3 brothers. Although I used to draw and paint since I was a child, and I studied art at Milan University with great passion, my artistic career started late, in 2004, when I was already 37. In 2000, few years after a serious disease that gave me the impulse to change my life, I started attending several schools of painting and nude and I made experienced at the studio of the professional painter Mr. Benito Trolese for long time. I studied art critic and history, most of all my beloved Venetian Master Painter (Tiziano, Veronese, Tintoretto and Tiepolo). My work aims to keep together those ancient teachings with a contemporary view. My activism for the gay rights is another leading pillar of my artistic production. I live and work in Milan with my longtime companion Roberto, married in 2016, as soon as the Italian Law made it possible.
