My house in the 70s was a crazy amazing place. I was a child who wanted to become a hippy. I was shy, clever and … gay. It was a serious problem: to be shy it’s something that makes everything difficult, and to be clever is not easy as well. But being gay was my fortune, it forced me to move from my safe zone and open to the others. It was my gateway for culture, feeded my hunger for kwnoledge.

SHORT BIO
My family comes from a small town near Venice 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 University with great passion, my artistic career started late, in 2004, when he 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 a professional painter 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 Italia Law made it possible.
