我在大学期间开始在设计领域工作。毕业后, 有几家设计公司经常找我做一些设计的项目, 所以我尽最大的努力去协助他们, 同时学会了很多从事设计师职业需要的工作。这些经历非常重要, 因为我学到了很多技能, 当我接到新的设计项目时, 这些技巧能一直帮助到我。我选择室内设计师这份职业, 因为爱上了这份工作, 可以给我创造力和自由的时间, 特别是当我们完成一个项目，能够看到客户脸上的幸福是一件美好的事情。这是一份开放, 有创造性的职业, 可以帮助你每天做不同的事情。帮助我的生活更快乐，更有成就感。
2.是什么契机让您来到中国？
Why you choose to come to China?
China its amazing country, I was always fascinated from this country. Fot the western people China its very mysterious country and I was always think to come and discover more. I open my company in Italy first and than the Italian design association ask me to come in china to support the promotion of Italian design in china. Than I come and I realized my dream so after few years I open my second company also in China. Now I have my interior design studio in Shanghai and we cooperate and work for different clients in Shanghai and others cities in China. Its very interesting and open design approach for our clients in Italy and china and that can help the design work to be very special and creative for every clients.
中国是一个很美的国家, 我总是被这个国家迷住。在西方人民的眼里，中国是一个非常神秘的国家, 我一直想来了解。我最先在意大利开公司, ADI要求我来中国支持意大利设计在中国的推广活动。我来了后, 我实现了我的梦想, 几年后我也在中国开了第二家公司。现在我在上海有了自己室内设计的工作室, 我们能与上海和中国其他城市不同客户合作。有趣和开放的设计方法, 为我们的在意大利和中国的客户，提供了很多的帮助，同时也让我们的作品非常独特和有创作性。
您在中国工作和生活，有哪些有意思的事情吗？
Any interesting things about working and living in China?
There is many interesting things, everyday there is something new to discover and im so courious to learn and know more every day. Every design project for me need to be special and unique. That’s why everything its interesting here, sometimes its very hard and not easy but we love the challenge and we try our best to satisfied the clients and make the happy. Its special to mix the taste of the clients and my taste, in this way every project can be unique and clients appreciate a lot because they can feel to receive an original design projects, not just copy and paste from other ideas.
在中国有很多有趣的事情, 每天都有新的东西去发现, 我每天都很好奇这里的事物，我渴望学习和了解更多的东西。对我来说, 每一个设计项目都是特殊和独一无二的。这就是为什么这里的一切都很有趣, 有时很辛苦, 也不容易, 但我们热爱挑战, 我们尽最大努力满足客户的需求, 让客户看到项目时候能够很开心。 混合不同客户和我的品味，这样每一个项目都可以是独特的, 客户欣赏我们的作品, 是因为他们可以感觉到一个原始的设计项目, 而不仅仅是从其他人想法的完全抄袭复制过来。
3.在您看来，中国和意大利文化习俗、居住生活环境等的差异，对室内设计（或者产品工业设计）有哪些影响？二者之间的融合点又在何处？
In your opinion, what are the differences between Chinese and Italian culture and living environment, etc., any influences on interior design (or product industrial design)? Is there any connection between Chinese culture and Italian culture?
We are totally different culture, east and west have different approach in the life, in the mentality and way to live and work. That the beauty I think because there is more to discover and learn, we need keep the difference as value for our country and life, if we all similar that its very boring and there is any special things at all. At the same time Italy and china are very similar for many points, we love family, food, stay with friends, enjoy the beauty of the life and china and Italy we are old friends, we all ancient country and the nature and environment in our countries its amazing. Dor the design we are in different level because different story but now china is growing very fast and as Italian designer I work hard to support my Chinese friends and clients to make better and better because do a good design is not just important for china but for all the world, the mission its very huge and im so happy to be part of this path and contribute to support that process of good design in China.
东西方有完全不同的文化, 不同的生活和工作方式。我认为去发现和学习更多的事物是件很美妙的事情, 保持差异是我们两个不同民族和生活的价值, 如果我们非常相似, 生活会很无聊, 并没有任何特殊的地方。同时意大利和中国人在很多方面都非常相似, 我们热爱家庭、美食、朋友, 享受生活的美好, 中国和意大利是老朋友, 两个国家历史悠久古老，很多自然美景漂亮的地方。我们的设计是在不同的水平, 因为不同的故事, 但现在中国增长非常快, 作为意大利设计师, 我努力支持我的中国朋友和客户变得更好, 因为做一个好的设计不仅对中国很重要, 对全世界都很重要, 使命很艰巨，但我很高兴能成为这条道路的一份子, 并为中国设计进步做出贡献。
