Born in 1972, he graduated with top marks from the first artistic high school in Rome. He immediately began a fruitful activity as a designer and coordinator of works, divided between Italy and abroad and between the practice of architecture and theory.
In the early nineties, he specialised in wood craftsmanship, such as gilding, carving and restoration of antique furniture. In the mid-nineties, he enrolled in the faculty of architecture at the University of Rome "LA SAPIENZA", at the same time collaborating with the COSTA PROGETTAZIONI studio. Between 2000 and 2005, he carried out various works for the Costa studio throughout Italy (Milan, Venice, Naples, Sardinia). In 2005, he graduated with a thesis on the Restoration of historical monuments under the supervision of Professor Maria Pia Sette, carrying out assistance and research activities for two years.
Between 2005 and 2011, he worked as a designer and coordinator for the company CROSS DESIGN s.r.l., which led him to carry out various interior construction sites in London, Tokyo, San Francisco, Boston, Las Vegas and Moscow. His experience in the field of craftsmanship and design led him to collaborate with numerous renowned designers, including Celeste Dell'anna, Alberto Pinto, Laura Sessa, and Francesco Lopez.
In 2011, he moved to Istanbul, where he began a fruitful activity as a senior architect for the “TUNCA MIMARLIK” studio in Istanbul, where he designed several buildings both in Turkey and in other foreign countries (United States, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, etc.), especially hotels, resorts and shopping centres.
Since 2013, he has also started a free activity as a consultant-designer and director of works, especially in the field of architectural restoration. He coordinates and supports the restoration and renovation of the Istanbul and Ankara offices of the Italian embassy.
