I am an Italian architect, living in Apulia, travelling around the world because I'm very and always passionate about anthropology and multiculturalism. As an architect, I always fascinates research the relationships between settlements, places and people. I deal with sustainable architecture for about twenty years. I was in the National Institute of Bio-Architecture (INBAR) for more than 16 years also held the position of National Board of the Institute. For about ten years my field of research and professional interest has shifted to the urban scale and neighborhood, trying to sustainability strategies on this scale. Some professional experiences in recent years have allowed me to experience sustainable urban regeneration programs and deepen the neighborhood level through the identification of indicators and targeted sustainability strategies. I work with many public administrations in order to establish sustainable strategic plans for territories and for cities. I like the inter-scalar approach of the project. I'm in Regional Council of National Institute of Urban Planning (INU) and co-founder of a National Club Theme of Legambiente (Italian Environmental Association) "Invisible Cities" dedicated to studies and research for contemporary cities.
