Wood carving

Since few years I occasionally get commissions for different wood carving works. They usually vary from frames, to parts of furnitures, to restorings.
Currently I'm working full time for a workshop based in Umbria, Italy, specialized in custom furnitures and interiors.

In June 2008, I held, along with the restorer Andrea Calli, a course on wood carving to a class of the Salesian Artistic Centre of Bethlehem (Palestine).
An incredibly challenging experience.
The workshop was organized by the NGO VIS (Volunteer for International Development)
