He was born in Rome in 1981. He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome, devoting himself simultaneously to poetry, painting, cinema and photography. From 2002 to 2005 he collaborated with Doctor Movie Posse, an independent audiovisual production company founded by Giorgio Galieti. In 2004 he attended Engraving courses at the Stamperia del Tevere in Rome (his teacher is Frank Martinangeli) and in 2006 he joined the same group, being part of the Board of Directors until 2016. Experimenting with new and unusual materials is one of its prerogatives, without forgetting the centuries-old tradition of the chalcographic technique. Seeking the best way to make sign and color (and often also writing) interpenetrate, he tends to the expressive essence of his emotions in order to communicate an original and poetic introspection, which is above all an invitation to reflection and self-research.
In 2013 he participated in the 'Symposium', a course on bronze casting, held at the Fondéria Association in Pécs, Hungary. Since 2015 she has dedicated herself to ceramics at the workshop of Alessandra Bandini. In 2016 he founded the group Alea Contemporary Art Ass. Cult. (of which he is currently President) with some artists including Frank Martinangeli and Virginia Sobrino. In October 2025 he was invited to give a press demonstration on the occasion of the XIIth Triennial Mondiale de l'Estampe, at the Espace Simon Veil in Chamalières, France. He has been selected in various poetry anthologies, has published three poetry collections (one of which under the pseudonym of Paco Nadera), the most recent, 'Fuoco&Terra', in 2024, Edizioni Terra d'Ulivi.
