(italian citizenship) matte painter, model maker, concept artist, set designer.
I've worked for advertising and book covers illustrator using every kind of painting and sculpting techni-
ques in the making of photorealistic images and sculptures (they were photographed for the making of billboards,
advertising pages and book covers). In the period from 1990 to 1999 I've worked for international advertising com-
panies like: LEO BURNETT, BATES, YOUNG AND RUBICAM, WALTER THOMPSON and others.
Always active in the field of traditional painting and sculpture applied to advertising business, I've spent the last
eight years perfecting the digital matte painting and miniature making techniques creating fantasy worlds, historic
enviroments and set extentions for cinema and TV productions (the matte paintings and miniature models are used
to produce amazing scenes and buildings that would otherwise not exist anywhere in the world or would be too
expensive if built in the traditional way).

I've a degree in Art and Painting of the "Istituto Europeo di Design of Milan".
After a long experience in traditional painting techniques that I've developed in years of professional activity, I've
achieved a good sensitivity for composition, lights, shadows, colors and this with the knowledge of the Art History,
the History of Architecture and Cinema and the digital painting techniques gives me the chance to reproduce mat-
te paintings that are not just an imitation of reality but something that give emotions and atmosphere to the scene
in harmony with the development of the story depicted in the movie. Furthermore I'm also a professional miniature
maker and this gives me a unique skill for the rendering of materials and architectural details.
-High level of expertise in "PHOTOSHOP".
-Familiar with "After effect","Painter".
I've got a strong interest for: of course Cinema, paintings, art and architecture,
ancient art and architecture, miniature making, books
reading, hobbies involving manual skills (sculpting, restauration of antiques).
Other interests: trekking, photograpy, nature and landscapes.
