“Pinocchio's essence is the wood of humanity”
~ Benedetto Croce

My story

I was born on 21st September 1970 in Vigonovo, a town on the Riviera del Brenta, one of the ancient fluvial access routes to Venice.

I began my carpentry career as a workshop apprentice. Here I learnt the basic techniques of woodworking. Later, I opened my own workshop, converting the rustic annex of the family farmhouse into a carpenter’s studio.

In a career spanning 25 years I have designed and built furniture, wardrobes, tables and furnishing accessories, works of art. All different, but all built out of a love of wood and a passion for craftsmanship.

"In any kind of creative work the creating person unites himself with his material, which represents the world outside of himself. Whether a carpenter makes a table, or a goldsmith a piece of jewellery, whether the peasant grows his corn or the painter paints a picture, in all types of creative work the worker and his object become one, man unites himself with the world in the process of creation."

~ Erich Fromm

Collections

Armonia Collection

Entirely hand-made works with sweet, soft, harmonious lines, conceived through that thing we call ‘vision’, as I first see the object, completed in every shape and detail, in my mind’s eye.

Fortuna Collection

Entirely hand-crafted, wooden carvings depicting Treviso playing cards, poker cards, dice, chess pieces and many others related to games of popular tradition.

Venezia Collection

The mystery of a magical city. Its timeless symbols breathe life into creations of unequalled elegance and refinement: a statement that can be confirmed simply by strolling and window-watching through Venice.

Fantasia Collection

The Fantasia collection represents everything my dreaming soul is able to shape. There’s no precise moment when I say “I’ll create this” or “I’ll do that” because everything springs from the void and can do so at any time.
