I have the heritage of the renaissance artists

Well, I have to say that I learnt how to do drawings before learning to read and write. After thefirst years of primary schools, I recognized at once how beautiful the Renaissance was: thearchitecture and some of the great masters, like Leonardo, Raffaello and Michelangelo.
My roots are there. For example, Felice Casorati – a great painter and former director of AlbertinaAcademy in Turin until 1963 – was the master of my masters. I started to be a graphic designer before mytraining was accomplished. I coupled my career as a graphic design with other activities like being anillustrator for books and graphic novels, and – of course – an art teacher.
