Born on the Italian coastline in a family of cabinetmakers, I started to work in my grandfather's shop since I was a kid. Initially as a antique furniture restore I developed my passion for woodturning during the university years. Traveling in Canada and England, where I met my mentor Richard Kennedy, gave me the opportunity to refine my skills and my vision about woodturning as an art form. At the moment I run a cabinet making business located in Alba (Piedmont) and I find my inspiration both from my origins on the sea and from the gently-vineyards coveredhills.
