When I still couldn’t read, I spent hours browsing comics and picture books and watching and replaying animated films. In 2004 I graduated from the Liceo Artistico of Vicenza (my hometown) and the following year I enrolled in the Triennale Comic Strip Course at the Scuola del Fumetto in Milan. It is the period when I start a more systematic study of my favorite authors, until building my own personal reference Olympus.
