Biography

I live and work in Milan. In 1985 I got a diploma as stringed instruments builder and restorer at the Municipal Stringed Instruments School in Milan, with a specialization in bowed and plucked-stringed instruments. I started my professional career as manufacturer and restorer. Then almost casually, in 1988, I began to build and animate puppets. This activity enabled me to work for more than ten years in all private and state TV programs dedicated to children. In the meantime I also prepared costumes, mockups, specific structures and objects, mechanical devices for special effects to be used in theatres, commercials and museums. Furthermore, I have worked as technical prop man and stage technician at the Teatro della Scala in Milan and the Teatro Lirico in Cagliari. Presently I provide audio recording facilities for music and dubbing studios, and organize in particular technical equipment and sound engineering devices.
