Chimera

Born in Italy. My parents immigrated from a small town in Southern Italy to Montreal, I was an 18 month old baby eager to substitute crawling with walking. A passenger ship crossing the Atlantic in the month of January, is not conducive to child safety. Not exactly a pleasure trip. Life had already presented me with my first challenge. It was a sign of things to come. My life has not been easy, far from it, yet it's no ground for complaints, since I know that I have unearthed the kind of richness in life that is only possible if one is willing to go deep, get down and dirty, get to the roots in order to understand. Gardening is one of my passions.

My sisters were born in Montreal and are still there along with their children and soon to come grandchildren. I on the other hand never stopped moving. Maybe it was that long voyage across the ocean that shaped my life. Vancouver, Toronto, Tuscany, Milan, Amsterdam. I make a living in Film & Television as a producer, filmmaker and/or editor. In my spare time I am an artist anything that gets my hands dirty works for me and I love to write.
