I partecipated in more than 30 exhibitions since 1973. Latest:2006 Calcata “IL Granarone” – Personal; 2007 Rome “Caffè Letterario” Collective; 2007 Rome Gallery “Il Mitreo” Collective “A Thousand Artists for Unity”; Rome Gallery “Octagoni” Collective “Art 100x100. I also have worked on commission for Companies and Institutions.
I have actively participated in the Calcata art group. In 2005, after 25 years working in a large multi-national company in various cities such as Milan, Bari and Rome, I chose to give up the many advantages of such a position and take up painting full time. Therefore, at the age of 50, I resigned in order to transform a life-long passion from an intensive hobby into a full-time profession. This entailed becoming involved in many activities such as a “Bottega d’arte” project, the offer of painting courses and painting in general.
