BIOGRAPHY
Italian architect. Since childhood, he has explored an artisanal approach to making, growing up in his family’s ceramics workshop and his father’s carpentry studio. There, he developed a deep sensitivity to craftsmanship and hands-on knowledge, essential for creating small projects and sculptures. He also learned to carefully observe the unique qualities of different materials and their adaptability.
In 2014, he graduated in Architecture with a thesis on historic towns and abandoned cities, while simultaneously pursuing his passion for theatrical scenography — with a particular interest in the relationship between image and scenic backdrop.
Since 2014, he has actively participated in national and international architecture competitions, receiving various awards and recognition, and frequently experimenting with theories about the city and its communities.
In 2016, he was awarded the NIB Prize (Top 10 Young Talents in Italian Architecture), and his work has been exhibited in Italy, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, England, France, Sweden, and Norway. In 2017, he won Europan 14 – Norway in Alta with the project Tanca, and the MIUR “Scuole Innovative” competition for the site of Matera, in southern Italy.
He has collaborated as a Team Leader Architect with Guillermo Vázquez Consuegra Studio in Seville, Spain, and currently lives and works in Lausanne, Switzerland, focusing on restoration and heritage renovation.
A passionate architectural traveler, he considers travel to be one of the most enriching aspects of his professional and personal development. His journeys across Europe and beyond have played a key role in shaping his design sensitivity, cultural awareness, and understanding of diverse urban and architectural contexts — forming a fundamental part of his humanistic approach to architecture.
