Architect

He earned his architecture degree in Milan and began his career in the 1970s working alongside his father, Livio, in their architecture firm.

It was during this period that he developed numerous lighting projects for art galleries and temporary exhibitions, hotels, offices, showrooms, retail stores, and private residences. It was from this experience that the Scintilla system was born, designed with his father, a best-selling product for FontanaArte.

In the 1980s, he designed the Parola lighting fixtures with Gae Aulenti. An exemplary model of technical integration between craftsmanship and industrial manufacturing.
