Take a peek into the Italian workshop

I’ve been based at this workshop since 2023, the year I moved permanently to the city. I originally trained with my uncle and grandfather, then spent several years in the workshop of Elio Severgnini near Cremona. Then in 2008 I moved to Madrid for two years, to work with José María Lozano. After that I worked with a group of friends in Cremona before returning to San Polo d’Enza, the small town where I was born, about 15 miles to the south of Parma.
