“Some ideas ask to become companies.
Others ask to become form.”

04 / ABOUT

I am interested in unlikely intersections.

Italian by origin and international by practice, I have built companies and projects across artificial intelligence, clean infrastructure, mobility, community living, autonomous retail and art.

The medium changes. The question stays consistent: can an idea be useful, beautiful and capable of moving life in a better direction?
