I’m born in 1961 in Acerenza, a little town in the center of Basilicata, inthe south of Italy.
After my degree in Architecture, i worked in an achitechture studio in Potenza until 1995.
In 1996, after moving to Germany, I started a collaboration with Fischer& Partner, a landscape architecture studio, where I worked on the planning and design of spaces, based on the natural characteristics and historical and cultural values of the territory.
simultaneously i started to work in “Fachsprachenzentrum” of Technical University of Dresden and the Westsächsische Hochschule of Zwickau.
Since 1999 i work at the Lex-Kerfer’s Landscape Architecture Studio and i work at the AMD – Akademie Mode und Design too.
From 2016, after the opening of a Handwerkswerkstatt project and realize objects in glass and mosaic. The inspiration is given from the desire to transform and give a new life to forgotten objects, shelved, often with a dilapidated appearance, but also to customize and enhance industrial products that standardize and make anonymous the furniture of gardens and apartments.

The patterns of my glass decoration are designed by myself.
Reproductions are always individual; they always vary, making my
creations unique. They will never look the same.
The base of my plates is crafted from ship timber. I have the timber cut and glued at a special carpentry, which works in an artisan fashion. Subsequently, the timber undergoes impregnation and sealing, thus obtaining further stabilization. On this base, I attach coloured glass, which I cut and ground before, as well as hand-made metal foils.
My garden tables are usually made of metal, come from second-hand markets or big retail chains or are being crafted by a smith according to my own design. The table top, on which I apply glass decoration, can
consist of hardened glass, metal or synthetic material for outdoor use. It will resist weather effects and does not get wavy.
