An architect, he was born in Modena in 1940 and graduated from the Faculty of Architecture at Milan Polytechnic. After an early experience at Studio Morassutti and numerous training periods abroad, he began his autonomous professional activity by opening a studio in Milan. His interventions range from cicil architecture to industrial and interior architecture, from industrial design to corporate image organisation, the latter often in collaboration with Eija Helander. His designs have been published in books and specialised magazines, selected for the Compasso d'Oro award and presented in numerous museums.
