Born and raised in Florence, Italy, I attended the Istituto d'arte di Firenze and the Scuola Palazzo Spinelli. Living in Tuscany, unescapably surrounded by the indelible stonework, gardens, sculptures and painting created by the craftsmen and masters of past times inspired me to express my passion for design beyond the drawing board. In 1990 "Florentine Renaissance Masonry" was established; designing and building for residential clients in the Greater Boston area, Massachusetts and New England. Working with stone allows me to extend into a wider tridimentional space in which the medium evolves from an idea, a drawing, into a real, functional and artistic piece.
