In collaboration with the artist Milena Scardigno between 2015 and 2017 he created the Arca Project, a monumental drawing selected among the best hundred creative projects in the Lazio region carried out in 2017 and first in the visual arts section. The work is exhibited at the Museum of Rome in Trastevere under the care of Giovanna dalla Chiesa from 11 July to 8 September 2019. In 2020 the work Arca is published in a monograph published by Ali Ribelli Edizioni.
