About 

Since the first years of school I had a very clear idea of what I wanted to do because I have always been inspired by architecture.
So, after having obtained a diploma in Surveying at the Technical Institute of Schio I enrolled at the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ferrara.
During my university career I worked for six months at ADEPT Office, in Copenhagen, thanks to which I took part in various remarkable projects.
For one of the projects developed during this experience we have got a Special Mention in the EUROPAN 10 – 2010 Architecture Competition.
Afterwards I followed the ERASMUS Exchange Program and attended courses for seven months at the ‘Universidade de Minho” in Guimaraes – Portugal.
During this period I was under the guidance of  Professor Carlos Maya and participated in the  Student Competition of the World Architecture Festival URBAN SOS for carrying out a construction project for the redevelopment of Port au Prince, Haiti’s capital city, after the earthquake.
Once I was back in Italy I took contact with Professor Antonello Stella of the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Ferrara and started analysing the steps for my thesis project.
The central theme of my thesis was the Redevelopment of an abandoned Industrial Area in Ris-Orangis hours away on the outskirts of Paris.

I and Professor Stella jointly decided that the best to elaborate further this matter would have been if I could work in a French Architectural Studio.
As a result of our thinking I moved to Paris for some months and found a job at the Architectural Studio Design SERERO in Paris.
SERERO Architects Studio has helped me in understanding how to let my projects being more appealing and also in taking into much consideration the different ways of a “project approach”.
During this period I have also learnt how to establish important relationships, also useful to get research and design guidelines, with the Local Administrations.

In July 2011 I graduated in Architecture and in January 2012 I obtained the Authorization for Projects’ Signing by the Italian Government.
Currently I am following projects of Interior Design, Graphic Design, 3D Modelling and Rendering for Architectural Studios in my homeland.

My career aspiration is to enhance my architectural knowledge on an international basis and I am eagerly searching for this opportunity.
