I was born in 1982 in Milan and a few years later I moved to Pavia, whose colors, voices and flavors I have always loved. While sailing the river Ticino with barcè and cycling around the Oltrepo hills I started to listen to the landscape, becoming aware of the multisensory nature of places.
I got the second-cycle Degree in Philosophy and I continued my studies with a PhD in “Project and Technologies for the Cultural Heritage Enhancement” at Politecnico di Milano, where I later worked as Lecturer and Research Fellow in Architecture. The leitmotif of this unusual vocation is soundscape: a topic that I approached thanks to my passion for music, catching my attention for its many stimuli and suggestions.
In those years, professional opportunities gave me the chance of exploring new horizons: from environmental design to landscape aesthetics, from the perception of atmosphere up to the theme of student housing and the technological design of architecture. I have always been overtly fascinated by this interdisciplinary field, in the belief that a true research should move on the borders, growing in the intersections.
More recently, thanks to this multidisciplinary inclination, I’ve become Research Advisor in the Research Bureau of ABC Department (Politecnico di Milano), supporting the Department staff in participating in National and European Projects. It is a new and challenging way of looking at research, with a lot of concrete repercussions and opportunities.
I am research collaborator at SUPSI (University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Southern Switzerland) as part of the group Paesaggi Sonori, I have collaborated with Abitare magazine, FKL forum, Urban Curator TAT, Terraceleste Cultural Association. I am the author of many pubblications, notably “Città di suono. Per un incontro tra paesaggio sonoro e architettura” (LetteraVentidue, 2020).
These pages represent a “training camp” where to share reflections and questions, both in English and in Italian. I will publish articles, revised and updated version of old works as well as on the spot doubts and concerns — in a free language and style, among scientific essay, journalism and novel. My goal is to generate new contacts, meet people, share ideas which I find fascinating.
