I was born in a small city in Northern Italy. I studied painting under Luciano Fabro and Alberto Garutti at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts and graduated in 2007. In 2008 I started studying goldsmithing and stone cutting, first in Milan, then in Vigo, Barcelona and Turin. In 2011 I served an apprenticeship with sculptor Fabio Viale. I am now living in a rural area of Romania.
