I always found joy and life in working with ceramics. I decided not to be directly involved in my family's blacksmithing business because I felt a life calling to express my own creativity, and so I did.

My education was not strictly linear. I studied art and scenography, then I completed my apprenticeship in a local bottega and finally opened my own workshop. I soon took up studying again, meeting several master ceramicists in Spain and in Italy. A residency in Japan consolidated my interest in minimalism.

Curiosity and experimentation. I love to understand how different techniques work and I never stop testing new ones. The spark is always an idea, then I start drawing and modelling by hand. Usually I end up shaping simple, linear objects, but sometimes I can be a bit baroque too.

I started almost 40 years ago, when I had the idea of creating modular, collectible pieces. I applied this concept to the Tuscan landscape, handmaking 5,3 cm cube modules, each unique. Today, collectors love to assemble their own Tuscan landscape at home.
