In 1975 he began working with the master Livio Seguso with whom he worked for twenty years in order to master his skills while learning from important artists like Henry Mavrodin, Federica Marangoni, Mimmo Rotella and Ugo Marano. He specialized with glass sculpture and in 1987 he won the Premio Murano award for glass masters.
