Born in Itri, Italy, where I spent my childhood before coming to the Bronx, New York, where I received my education ,BFA , MFA and my first success.
So lucky, I am able to return to my roots and the old world with all its charm, at least every year,once,where I still keep a studio on the Via Appia.
As an artist I have had and have several showings and representations in Italy, Germany, Russia and many in the USA as well, including:New York, Iowa, North Carolina, Maryland, Georgia and Florida.
I was represented by several Galleries,mostly in New York City, before moving back to Italy for some years,to pursue my passion to paint , to teach at University(Napoli)and to tend to my Olive Grove.
On returning to America in the early nineties, I taught at Universities and Colleges in the Winston-Salem, Greensboro N.C. area, where I became a Professor in the visual arts, before finding paradise in Venice ,Fl. where I now reside, create and paint.
