Biography

Over the years I have participated in collective exhibitions and artistic and cultural events, often crossing alternative paths that have always led me back to my true passion, Sculpture.

In 2001 until 2007, in Sasso Marconi, I began an important experience of artistic craftsmanship with the “L’Altrarte” workshop which I helped to found by creating:

  • “The ceramics of Nicolosa Sanuti” and “The ceramics of Guglielmo Marconi” for the MUSEUM of the Guglielmo Marconi Foundation

  • Courses and workshops of artistic techniques: ceramics, sculpture, drawing, wood carving.

  • Therapeutic activity aimed at people with disabilities with a complete cycle from clay to ceramic in collaboration with Municipalities, Asl, Associations.

In 2007 I inaugurate an individual path that sees me engaged as a sculptor-ceramist and as a teacher of educational workshops and specific courses in the artistic field.
I create the new Coat of Arms of the Municipality of Sasso Marconi (bas-relief in painted semigres) placed on the facade of the Municipality and the tiles with “The signs of the Goddess” placed on the facade of the Renato Giorgi Exhibition Hall.

In 2008 I became the Artistic Coordinator of an important Art Brut Atelier for adults with disabilities “Marakanda: art and skills in progress” in Borgonuovo di Sasso Marconi (BO) of the coop. Social Open Group.

Among the numerous events and exhibitions organized:

  • “Art and Design” the ethical vision of companies that operate with creativity in the cultural and social sphere, Borgo di Colle Ameno, Sasso Marconi (BO)

  • “Shaker” conference on Art Brut in collaboration with the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna, Borgo di Colle Ameno, Sasso Marconi (BO)

  • “No brand like Marakanda” annual parades for Terra Equa, Palazzo Re Enzo, Bologna

  • “The notebooks of Marakanda” annual series
