More about me…
Since 2000, I have been collaborating with FAI (Italy’s National Trust) as an external consultant in architecture and communication, educational assistant and guide at Villa e Collezione Panza, where I was project manager for the exhibition design of the two temporary exhibitions Nel tempo (2024) and Un altro sguardo (2025).
At Casa Macchi, I collaborated on cataloguing and on the exhibition design of the house-museum before it opened to the public in 2019.
Since 2006, I have been working as a lecturer and teaching assistant at the Politecnico di Milano in various interior design and museography workshops (degree courses in Italian and English).
In 2004-2005, I participated in the Lombardy Region project to study and establish the Ecomuseum of the Prealpine Lakes (now Campo dei Fiori Ecomuseum).
In 2004, I participated in the Inside la Habana design workshop in La Havana, Cuba, with the Politecnico di Milano University and the International University of Catalunya.
Design
Design is a creative process which, starting from a thought, an idea, responds to needs, leads to the solving of questions and transforms an imagined space into an experience, into a place to live.
Renovations
Renovating a property, of whatever type, does not mean simply giving it a new look, but giving it a new life, often a new identity.
The coexistence of the new and the already existing is the true strength of the project, passing on the lived experience alongside the story of what is to come.
Exhibition design
Exhibition design is an art form in itself: the exhibition space becomes both a container and a mirror for the artworks, enhancing but never detracting from them, while the observer is enriched by an experience as well-designed as it is unique.
