I was born in the south of France in 1959, into a family of carpenters for three generations.
I studied mathematics, physics, chemistry and technical drawing until I graduated.
The natural confidence with woodworking and the passion for music led me to enter in 1978 the International Violin Making School in Cremona.
I was lucky enough to attend school when its two most prestigious figures were still teaching there: the masters Morassi and Bissolotti.
The atmosphere was electrifying. The comparison between “Morassians” and “Bissolottians” and the taste for experimentation provided me with a rigorous but open training.
In 1982 I obtained the diploma of Master Luthier under the guidance of Francesco Bissolotti.
In 1986 I started the luthier profession in Parma.
Since 2014 I have been teaching at the Renato Scrollavezza International School of Violin Making.
I continue to study and do research every day, testing new insights and solutions on the workbench.
It is from this method that the sound of my instruments is born.
