I was born in 1967 in Piacenza. Since years 1990, my work develops between design and art, parallel paths joined by a patient and passionate search for peculiar materials and objects that very often can be considered museum rarities. The design experience moves around many collaborations with important milestones such as Ettore Sottssass, Franz West, Johanna Grawunder and Memphis group. Exceptional and unique furniture pieces have received international appreciation, one for all the selection of “Editor’s picks” by luxury design platform 1stDibs. My art works, on the other hand, reveal an intimate side. A particular eye on the many facets of Man and Life is the never ending “fil rouge” of a huge production. I took part in many solo and collective exhibitions with private and public organizations and art galleries: Volumnia Gallery, Nomad 2019 Venezia Deutsche Bank, Comune di Milano, Comuni di Parma e Piacenza, Palaexpo Roma, MIM Museum, Sotheby’s, Millon, Il Sole 24 ore. My works can be found in many private collections. I live and work in Centovera, Piacenza, Italy.
