I was born in Orvieto.
My grandfather was the Duomo (Cathedral) attendant in Orvieto, which is known in England chiefly for the reproductions of the frescoes by Luca Signorelli. My father, a potter and an employee of the municipality, one of Ciaurro’s apprentices, was a wellknown artist who, together with the “Vascellari” launched a new decorative style in the twenties which mimicked the medieval one, its shape and décor refining it. Immersed in this world I began to attend the craftsmen’s studios in Orvieto, where ceramics complete its magic circle.
Advertising draughtsman, screen printer, teacher in the schools of art in Orvieto and in Rome, now a web designer for a large information technology firm, I devote most of my spare time to the study and teaching of decoration on majolica in the medieval style, in two laboratories in Rome. My majolica has a limited production and is aimed mainly at those whose knowledge of the art allows them to enjoy its numerous shades as fully as possible.
