I live in Sicily, where I was born. A beautiful land immersed in the sun, sea and fire.

I love any artistic expressions, especially visual arts. Because of that I founded OMNIARS, a company to promote Art and Culture, and I also joined to Herborarium Museum for the same reason.

I think that the first mission of Art is to communicate messages of Truth and Values, to inspire people and to plant the seeds of culture in them. I wish to gather the legacy of Pascoli, Pirandello, Da Vinci, Foscolo, Puccini, D'Annunzio and all the other Vates of the past, with humility and passion, with the awareness that the strenght of any artistic action can create a change in human beings, a change in ideas, a change in society and even new job opportunities.

From time to time I do seminars of visual communication and comic design for private courses or cultural centers. I also co-lead a construction company, Vieffe Costruzioni, specialized in civilian housing, operating in the oriental part of Sicily.

In my spare time I practice kung fu: Wushu traditional style, Tai Chi Chuan and Sanda (combat). In 2010 I have been the Italian National Champion for my category.
