"I was born in Milan 55 years ago and after having wandered for years, in 2014, I went back to my beloved city; I currently reside here with my three wonderful children. My aptitude for drawing and fate, supported in this by my mother’s will, led me to study in a Milanese art high school, where I graduated in 1983. From then the step towards Politecnico di Milano was short; I graduated from Architecture Department, with a thesis on urban design, my thesis advisor, Professor Belgiojoso. I worked in his studio for a few years. The mood in Via dei Chiostri was still imbued with E.N.Rogers teachings, one of the studio’s founders, who claimed, speaking of architect’s profession: "... our approach is try to grasp the deepest reality and translate it into poetic acts." Architecture and sculpture, for affinity reasons, have always maintained a dialogue between them; time and space are elements that lead them to converge. This is where I found my 'place in the world': a place halfway between sculpture and architecture. My story is in fact a succession of places, cities and countries; of unknown and distant spaces that I have tamed, really an attempt to make them domestic spaces. Then the move to an extra-European country made my profession difficult, or even impossible. No longer able to practice my job, I channeled my energies, as well as in the growth of my children, in my primary, and ever-present, passion that is drawing. In those years, in Saudi Arabia, I combined to this the realization of textile works. By now sculpture has taken over everything else. I just signed up for Accademia di Brera: you have to go to the source to regenerate. "
