I am a visual artist living and working in Rome, in the Esquilino district, a crossroads of peoples and cultures. I graduated in Modern and Contemporary Languages and Literatures from La Sapienza University, but it was only after a stay in Paris in the mid-1990s that I began my artistic journey. The Parisian environment, the artists and their studios awakened a long-held desire in me: to dedicate my life to art. Back in Rome, I immediately enrolled in a printmaking course—a technique I would go on to refine over time by attending the two-year Art Graphics program at the S. Giacomo School in Rome and numerous summer courses both in Italy and abroad. In 2006, I attended an exhibition on artist’s books at the Casanatense Library in Rome. That visit brought back memories of Maria Lai—who had been my teacher in middle school—her pages and threads, and I began to fall in love with the endless forms the idea of a book can take. It is this constant exploration of the artist’s book that eventually led me to collaborate with Maison Valentino, for whom—from 2017 to 2024—I created the unique volumes of the Cahiérs de défilé and the three-volume edition Rosso (The Valentino Rosso Book). In 2022, I curated and directed the performance Quello che non sai di Lei, presented in Naples on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, and later in Rome. From 2021 to 2023, I participated—alongside Arco di Gallieno—in the permanent installation Progetto Dante, placing a ceramic tile I created for each cantica of the Divine Comedy in the gardens of Piazza Dante, Rome. I've been a member of the Grecam APS Associacion for over 25 years.
