EDUCATION AND TRAINING
WHAT I HAVE LEARNED
I started my architectural journey in Rome, gaining a bachelor degree in Science of Architecture. After that, influenced by the architecture around me and my love of historic buildings, I've decided to specialize in Restoration and Cultural Heritage. Then to furthered my studies I chose to go to Valencia and attend a Master in Architecure, Design and Innovation carried out by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos.
After my experience in Spain, I decided to try something different and far away from what was normal for me, so, I moved to Berlin. After almost three years in Berlin, gaining experience in an international studio, I decided to take a break and come back to Italy for a short period.
During the last years, I developed a love for Nordic design and a deep understanding of the environmental impacts of modern architecture and lifestyle.
