Creative professional with over 20 years of experience in production, directing, and VFX supervision, specializing in animation for series and films. I have collaborated with renowned artists and participated in international festivals, bringing innovation and an artistic approach to every project.
“As Creative Producer, I personally oversee the process of bringing visual effects and animation projects to life, guiding them from their initial spark to their dazzling presentation on any screen or medium. I manage every stage, from crafting the script and storyboard to actual production, sound design, and distribution, paying meticulous attention to every intricate.”
My Story
I trained artistically at the International School of Comics, where I studied comics and visual arts. After earning a Bachelor’s Degree in Humanities, Performing Arts and Entertainment Studies, I later had the privilege of specializing in animatronics at the European Academy of Special Effects, working alongside Master Carlo Rambaldi and deepening both the technical and artistic approach required in this field.
From this path came my hybrid mindset — a balance between storytelling and innovation — which today guides my work across directing, visual supervision, and production.
After nearly ten years at Proxima Effetti Visivi, I founded Canecane VFX, Galactus Production, and the Italian Association of Visual Effects (AVFX).
Today I collaborate with various production companies and animation and visual effects studios, in Italy and abroad, combining my role as creative producer with that of director and writer, with a particular focus on serial animation and transmedia storytelling.
This symbol was born from a simple idea: two parallel lines, one of which unexpectedly bends toward the other.
It represents the deeper meaning behind the design of E.T.
Master Carlo Rambaldi, with whom I had the privilege of studying for three years in Terni, used to say that E.T.’s eyes were those of his Himalayan cat. But the curious shape of the neck and elongated head carried a greater message.
Two parallel lines never meet; two cultures moving along separate paths never meet.
Yet when one finds the courage to bend toward the other, an encounter is born — and, as in E.T., something wonderful happens.
I’ve treasured that small story, which holds a great meaning and a unique approach to creativity, and I decided to turn it into a symbol that would accompany my work.
