I was born in Milan in 1963. It’s hard to say what led me to write: perhaps my family origins with Austro-Hungarian and English ancestors, a heritage of infinite beauty, images, scents and atmospheres...

Then the experience of illustration and painting that came out of an encounter with the Japanese master Kenji Sumura, along with an untiring and at times pathological fascination for the human being and all its expressions, including the most contradictory.

Lastly, the agony but also the joy of living and participating in this extraordinary era of change.
