I was born in the south of France in 1959, into a family of three generations of carpenters.

I studied mathematics, physics, chemistry and technical drawing, taking the Baccalaureat in 1977.

A natural feel for woodworking and a strong passion for music led me, in 1978, to enter the International Violin Making School of Cremona.

In 1982 I was granted the diploma of Master Luthier under the guidance of Maestro Francesco Bissolotti.

In 1986 I began my career in Parma as a professional luthier, simultaneously pursuing my studies and research in the quest to perfect my knowledge.

Since 2014 I have been teaching at the International School of Violin Making Renato Scrollavezza.
