My Story
It all started with a passion: wood.
A living material, replete with the scent of nature and capable of transforming into something unique in the right hands.
From that passion, a hobby was born, and from that hobby, over time, a profession.
A journey that was not only professional, but above all human, filled with curiosity, patience, and a desire to create.
After graduating from the "Adolfo Venturi" Art Institute in Modena, as a Master of Ceramic Art, I continued to cultivate my manual skills by exploring ceramics, painting, and sculpture.
But it was in the family carpentry shop that I found my true calling: among shavings, essences, and the scents of wood.
There, I was fortunate to learn from a great master—Otto—who, with dedication, passed on to me his knowledge and love for working with wood, from the simplest to the most precious.
Over time, this bond with wood grew and transformed into a desire: to share.
So I decided to delve into the world of video editing and directing, to share my creations step by step.
On my YouTube channel, I demonstrate the stages of making pipes and briar art objects, with the aim of sharing the beauty and complexity of an ancient art, made of slow gestures and careful attention.
Every piece of my work is born from continuous research: into materials, shapes, and techniques, always different, always unique.
Because every piece, like every story, has a soul of its own.
I hope, through my hands and my videos, to convey the authentic passion that has always accompanied me.
