My pseudonym is APP and I was born in Bologna in 1963.
After studying art, I focused on graphic design and magazine cartoons in Milan, before specialising in work with a variety of materials, thus broadening my knowledge of scenography and stagecraft.

My passion is experimentation and, upon request, I create sculptures, puppets, and objects for furnishings and events.

For the last thirty years I’ve been collaborating with Panini in Modena as a set designer, interior decorator, and sculptor for events and exhibitions; I’ve also worked with acclaimed artists such as Adrian Tranquilli and Marcello Jori.
I’m dedicated to research into contemporary and social themes, these having become the concepts behind the exhibitions I’ve curated over the years at Fotografia Europea (Reggio Emilia) and ArtCity Bologna.

Today, my artistic expression encompasses the triptych of sculpture, photography and installation.

Currently, I live and work in Bologna and Tuscany.
There’s no presumption of imposing vision or truth in my art; artistic creation is inspired by each person’s free interpretation.

APPartLab is my new workshop in the historic heart of Bologna.

A few enormous rooms, in a universally unknown and disused 14th-century noble mansion, will welcome you by appointment: an oasis suited to creativity and meditation. The ideal no-place to lose yourself in time while remaining immersed in history. I’ll be happy to guide you through the work in progress of my imagination, alongside the legendary ghost still haunting the building.
