About Me

Im very easygoing. Im very openminded and I love a good constructive discussion! I love my job and I work way to much :)
My life has been pretty strange. But to sum it up briefly: Born in Brescia, early childhood in Trentino, grew up back in Brescia, at 16 I did an exchange student year in Arizona, then went to a boarding school in Connecticut, then 2 years of physics at Boston University, then I fell in love with glass, so I moved to Murano. and here I am in Murano still working with this magic material after 10 years. In 2017 I opened a glass blowing company @wave_murano_glass

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing a lioness like 2 meters away from my car when I was in Namibia, Africa.
Dale Chihuly's exhibition at Boston's MFA "through the looking glass", it literally changed my life.
Roadtrip through route 101 from Seattle to San Diego!
