Final-year undergraduate, he studies architecture at the Politecnico di Milano. For many years now he has been studying the history of the urbanistic development of towns of the Verbano area - particularly Luino, Maccagno and Valtravaglia - and the biographies of architects and specialized workers who worked in towns on the lake or were born in the Verbano area. At the same time, he also locates and reports historical buildings in this area in order to help preserve them, an important task that he carries out with passion.
