I was born in Trento in 1972 and after graduating in painting at the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, I decided to stay and live in Milan. For over twenty years I have worked as a shooting board artist for major advertising production houses, working alongside directors such as J. Schumacher, T. Kaye, and G. Tornatore, and I carry on my comics projects under the Passenger Press label, active since 2007, collaborating as a graphic designer with other publishing houses as well.
