Lover of architecture, visual arts and music. Graduated from the G. d'Annunzio Faculty of Architecture in Pescara; I’ve been interested in 3d modeling and digital representation in architecture for several years, constantly learning. Always driven by curiosity and the desire of learning to improve myself and what I love to do. I always try to get high levels of precision from what I do, with a lot of stubbornness; on the whole I consider myself a good observer, a good listener. Grown up with Legos and still love experimenting with shapes brick by brick. My goal is to live for and with what I love the most, giving shapes to ideas.

PALAZZO D’AVALOS IN MASSERIA GIARDINO Restoration of an old farmhouse’s palace
2020 Thesis Social agricolture Borgo Incoronata (FG), Italy
Masseria Giardino is a farmhouse complex located in the countryside of Borgo Incoronata, next to Foggia. This place has a changed a lot through the centuries, once a monastery then just a farmhouse and finally a royal Palace. The Palace took the name from the last great family that owned it, d’Avalos family originary from Spain than arrived in Italy in Naples. From the 1900s this place began to fall apart for the lack of manteinance and funds. With my project propisition based on studies and researches, I want to give back its pristine aspect with new functions that aim to re-integrate unlucky and emarginate people with school lessons and jobs linked to the agricolture. In this place you can sleep, eat, study, learn, work and enjoy the countryside.

INTERESCTIONS
REQUALIFICATION OF A GAS STATION AREA
2017 Pescara Summer School 2017 Co-working spaces University of Pescara, Italy
The project area is designed exactly like a reel, a dynamic public space that works in sync with the system to which it belongs. There are three significant elements that contribute to the composition. The first is the base: a platform that lifts the urban space from the speed of the traffic that surrounds it and which emphasizes its authority. As if imagining a very modern acropolis, the second element that characterizes it is the volume. Three blocks arranged on the vertices of a triangle animate the central area. A co-working space and a ticket point maintain the link between the university area and Viale Marconi, which is the main artery for urban transport. A third volume dedicated to catering closes the trilateration at the top of the area. The geometry of the volumes is designed to guide the direction of the flows through the elevations that find their intersections in this area. Finally the third element: the plan. Three floors intersect the bodies at the same height, like a horizontal course in the project section, assuming in each volume a different meaning linked to its specific function.

OUT-CENTER-SKIRTS URBAN PROJECT
2015-2016 Urban Planning 2 Social Housing Pescara, Italy
This project aims to solve some problems linked to the lack of green spaces and social aggregations points for various activities. The planning take place on the Asse Pendolo, a place located at the outskirts of the city of Pescara that unite two parts of it, from East to West. In this area are some new buildings and facilities like De Cecco and Poste Italiane, it’s in current developement so that’s the right occasion to build something new, something useful and sustainable. In the planning is considered opening the entire street axis putting next to it activities like sports, free spaces and housings. The type of buildings falls into the description of social housings, homes for everybody with echological sustainibility in mind. Every building has wooden panels that protect them from solar expositions; each of them has a common staircase that splits in half the building. At the basement there are shop areas. The space between the building is free to use for social activities, with the possibility to exploit the freshness given from the trees on the benches. This project aims to repopolate and requalify an abandoned space so rich of possibilities, social and economical.

URBAN PLANNING + CULTURAL CENTER
2016-2017 Project course 3 Cultural center Kato Almiri, Greece
In this course we projetcted a new center for Kato Almiri, a coastal town in Greece. First we planned an urban structure with roads, walkways, bus stops, parkings and new housings; eventually the project has started to take place in the center of this big new square providing a lot of services linked to cultural events and social actvivities. All of this took the form of a big square building enveloped by a metal curtain that twists on itself providing shade and protections from the weather. Behind the curtain theres a walkway that runs all around the building, connecting each ffloor together. Speaking about floors, every level has a dedicated function from the library, to the museum and finally to the open-air theahter, typical of the Greek heritage. Peplum looks directly to the mediterranean sea, with a suggestive view for the people to see. In the square under this cultural center there are strips of green and seats with olive trees.

PORTA MELATINA UNIVERSITY RESTORATION OF AN OLD ASYLUM
2016-2017 Restoration Lab course University Teramo, Italy
In Teramo there’s an old abandoned asylum located next to the historical center. This place borrows the name of an old entrance “Porta Melatina” to the town, in fact the complex is divided in two big wings by the gate of the asylum. This building was once a convent named after Sant’Antonio Abate, the little church is still there inglobated by the complex. The project aims to restore to a pristine look this great building and give it a new important function, an University.

RUMORE BIANCO
ArkxSite competition, Mirador
From the immortal fortress sculpted by the fury of the ocean emerge the fragile remains of a now forgotten military barracks. On the rough and rocky red surfaces, white refined volumes stitch together the history of this place, freezing the site at a moment in time, and offering protection from the inescapable erosion of history. The path begins with a staircase that allows the transition from an immanent experience to a metaphysical contemplation of the place, allowing for a level point of view over the ruins. The narrow linear walkway atop a concrete arm offers an itinerary along the ruins and therefore emphasises their presence. The physical interruption of the walkway gives rise to a space in which interaction with tall monolithic elements provides historical knowledge of the site. At the end of the second arm, inside the battery terrace, a new interruption of the path offers the opportunity for a contemplative moment in a space naturally prepared for observation. From here, a long staircase carves a narrow passage into the cliffs. Contained by concrete walls, this leads to an astonishing view where the experience is truly fulfilled; weak human nature confronts the brutal force of the ocean, and the solid convictions of man falter in the face of the powerful waves.
