Personal Comment:

To create a dress it’s always a fascinating creative moment for me not only because it requires a careful study of the particular historic and cultural period it belongs to but also for many other different and deeply aspects revealed by a costume. Each dress has its own origin that goes beyond the outward appearance. The process of realizing a costume, and consequently a scenography, turns to become a life in a delicate equilibrium between reality and dream, a seesaw of emotions and restlessness of the mind; the dress becomes a journey at the limit of the being and of the past.

I’m happy to collaborate with the Foundation, the union of costume and figurative arts turns to me like a great fascination motive. I would like to transmit my love for the costume as witness of our history and our people lives.
