Architect, Born in Tolmezzo (Carnia) on 3rd August 1964. The events of his region and family tradition have lead him to take an interest in the building trade and approach technical studies. During his school years he collaborated with the family building firm. He attended the University of Venice (historical-arts studies - thesis in Industrial Archeology). At the end of his university studies he moved to Milan where he has designed technological and mechanical systems in the field of construction. His ten-year experience in designing, his relationships with various professional people, his studies together with training courses, have lead him to mediate between legal requirements and architectural demands that are often a source of strong conflict between the various people involved in planning constructions.
