He works with Studio Alchimia and designs, both by himself and in collaboration with others, furniture, objects, decorative motifs, clothing, stage sets and small-scale architecture. He is also a painter and journalist, and receives many awards in Italy and abroad.

\u201cFor a long time I dreamed of an object capable of expressing fondness, distance, the mysteries and senses of the proud elegance of Italian art.
\nThe ultimate synthesis of our artistic past, I told myself, is to be found in the person of Giotto.
\nThe lightness of Italian art is expressed by faces that stare into the distance, angels with polychromatic wings, and clear blue skies.
\n\u2018Giotto\u2019 was created with respect and love and has since become an emblem of Venini glass art.
\nWith its austere face, it represents the legendary artist in a key that is both modern and ancient , strong yet fragile.
\nA winged figure, watching us watching him.
\nFrom the slits of his alien eyes, this sensitive figure seems to exude magical power in support of the future of Italian art.\u201d
