That's me
I was born in Grosseto in 1965, immediately cultivating a passion for toy soldiers with whom I have played for many years; Airfix and Atlantic accompanied my modeling evolution, which went from a first love for modeling (airplanes and military modelling) to the painting of fashion sketches. This was then followed by the desire for self-construction and miniature sculpture, but only after reaching the so-called maturity .... birth and not artistic.
Modeling collaborations for the creation of historical figures have made me appreciate this hobby more and more, so much so that I became co-founder of the Historical Group and Artistic Studio (G.A.St.Art.) Of which I have been art-director since 2006; I also oversee the realization of the Monte San Savino Show, one of the leading events in the international panorama of Historical and Fantasy figurines. Today the miniature reproduction of both historical and fantasy artistic figures, through the so-called self-construction, is what satisfies me the most and, as a good model maker, I am still engaged in the study of new materials and techniques, also exploring the worlds of painting " artistic "to keep fit with the" colors ".
