The gaze of a traveller, who wants to immerse himself in the evocative atmosphere of the lower Piave, would be captured by the discreet presence of unusual imposing buildings integrated with unexpected material naturalness in the countryside. These are the so-called case coloniche. What I want to tell is a story, one of the many stories hidden in these border areas between land and water. Past lives can be guessed around these monuments of a peasant reality, now extinct. Stone dinosaurs mark the territory, a warning not to forget those who have rejoiced, suffered and worked hard here.

Born in Milan in 1953, where he lives and works. He has published in numerous magazines, both in Italy and abroad, and has won numerous awards. He has presented his works in solo and group exhibitions. Driven by a creative and experimental spirit, always attentive to new artistic trends, he develops the aesthetic sense of his works by combining classical elements with innovation. He shows particular attention to form and materiality. He has a keen interest in observing various housing structures, both in rural and urban settings.
