Born in Prezza, Italy 1937. Have lived in the U.S.A. since 1966. I am married to an English lady and we have two children and two grandchildren so far. I built a studio attached to my house, it overlooks a beautiful lake and this is where I paint every day.After I graduated from art schools in Italy I worked as a Graphic disigner, in Italy and here in the States. Then shortly after settling here I returned to painting. Over the years my paintings developed from more traditional style to more contemporary, abstract based with some realistic elements. My inspiration comes from every day life, from magazines, newspapers and the internet.
