I t a l i a n p l a s t i c a r t i s t
I was born in Italy (b.'52) near Modena, the same city where I currently live.
I graduated in University of Bologna 1997 Literature and Philosophy, DAMS Disciplines of Arts, Music and Performing Arts, Course of studies in Film and Theater.
In the 80's and 90's I had several experiences as a documentary director , and short films of my own production, of a narrative and experimental type.
The most important of '91-'92 is 'In The Shadow of These Dense Arms', been recognition in Italy and abroad film-festivals.
It was about ecology, the dense arms is about the branches of a real huge secular tree. It was inspired by the book by Italo Calvino 'The Rampant Baron'.
It was shot in a truly enchanting place which is the Medici villa of Pratolino, in Firenze, then villa Demidoff, where there's a park with beautiful, huge secular trees.
Later in '92 I make artistic direction of theater show, in Laurentian celebrations of the 500 centenary of death of Lorenzo De' Medici, in the Medici castle of Cafaggiolo , In Mugello, Firenze.
Then I abandoned the cinema and theater cause it was economically unsustainable.
So I became an entrepreneur in industrial steel furnisching, and also artistic design furnisching.
Sculpture had always been a passion of mine with materials such as crete.
So I started experimenting with steel in small welded blocks for a large mask, as well as complements of furniture; later I created some figurative -expressionist compositions, even large to cm 150.
My subjects always date back to cinema and theatre; there is always an action in motion, a theatrical story, the myth.
The themes range from Ulysses of Omero, Dante, but also to Hollywood characters, of how to theater of S. Beckett.
