Some screenprints pulled in 2017 at Press Press and published on Rivista Studio⁠.

BASE defines itself as a as “a Learning Machine that establish a dialogue between different creative communities”. That's my chaotic interpretation of it as a kind of Goldberg machine. Made during my art residency by Illustri Festival at BASE, Milan.

I Modi (The Ways) is the first erotic book I read when I was a child. It was a present from my uncle to my dad, but it ended up becoming my first experience of sexual curiosity.

It’s also known as The Sixteen Pleasures or, in Latin, De omnibus Veneris Schematibus, and it is a famous erotic book from the Italian Renaissance: in it a series of sexual positions performed by greek Gods were explicitly depicted in engravings.

Even if the original edition was completely destroyed by Catholic Church’s censorship, fragments of a later edition survived, together with sonnets written by Pietro Aretino and describing the sexual acts depicted.

The original illustrations were later copied by Agostino Carracci, whose version survived until today. You can find the full turbulent story of I MODI on Wikipedia.

These drawings I made are a tribute to this small book.

I have been invited by BBDB to take part in their "BBDB Editions". I created something very unusual for my day-to-day practice and the result has been wonderfully shot by my friend Alberto Parise. Animalia is my interpretation of peculiar specimens of warm-blooded animals: a bird, a deer, a human being and a fish. The result is a set of colorful individuals born from illustrations and transformed, for the first time,⁣ into three-dimensional sculptures.

Animalia is a contemporary and graphic reinterpretation of traditional masks of various folklore; the collection of⁣ four unique paper-mâché masks has been produced by me with the help of my parents during the month of February 2019 at my family home, in Marostica (Italy).

Ok this is an old one (2012) but I’m very attached to this screenprints exhibition I made together with Eleonora Marton in Treviso.

Last month I kept myself busy with the creation of this installation for my friends at Treviso Comic Book Festival. This is "Pandoro", a gift of optimism and vibrant energy to help cope with these wild times. Don't look for deep meaning or symbolism behind the artwork- the concept here was to channel my dharmic joy in doing things by hand with people I love. Thanks to FusinaLab for the technical support with the wood laser cuts, Lorenzo Fonda for helping me with the 3D modeling and building up the whole thing at 7 AM in Treviso and to my precious assistants Sandro Bonomo and Lya Jeevas.
