I was born in Monza, I’ve lived most of my life in the area of low Brianza, north of Milan, a place rich in wood craftsmen and good design. Unfortunately (or fortunately) during the few months of my summer school vacations, when I was still a boy, my father sent me to work in his friends craftman’s workshops, where I started to learn one of the most beautiful job in the world, that of wood carpenter. For various reasons I’ve never undertaken that job, but this very first work experiences have allowed me to develop excellent manual and inventiveness skills, precious qualities that I’m still cultivating in my profession as an junior architect and designer.

My interest in architecture begun during a long trip to Australia where I stayed in passive houses and admired extreme climates landscapes punctuated by buildings made with poor materials, such as earth, wood, straw, corrugated metal panels.
Passive houses ensure the thermal comfort simply through the rational use of natural elements, resulting extremely pleasurable to live with their cool and balanced rooms in summer, dry, warm and bright in winter, all through the minimum use of energy-consuming systems. These important sustainable models are for me at the base of my designs.

I was born in Rome on 03/21/1976, after studying science and language at high school I studied architecture in Rome and France. I graduated – cum laude – in Rome at the Faculty of Architecture of the “Roma Tre” University in 2004 with a degree in landscape architecture, rapporteur Giovanna Sibilia. My thesis entitled “An ancient island where even in the contemporary time conforms space” was published on the website www.progettazionedelpaesaggio.com.
I am a trained architect since 2006 and a member of the “Rome and Province Architects professional association” with the number 17244.
Winner of an Erasmus scholarship Paola joined the academic year. 1998-1999 at the ENSA-V – “École Nationale Supérieure d’Architecture de Versailles”.
In 2000 I participated in a campaign of excavations and surveys in Vietnam, experience that allows to me to continue to be in contact with the international network.
After several internships I began an intense collaboration with Studio Arch. Roberto Liorni, in Rome, where I deepened the themes of interior design and architecture of residential and commercial-restaurants buildings, participating in the design of many famous Romans places: Primo al Pigneto, Pastificio, Porto Fluviale (winner in 2014 of the first National Award “Bars and Restaurants”), Splendor Parthenopes, Rosti, IFAD’s canteen and World Food Programme’s cafeteria in Rome, the Museo Nazionale Romano-Palazzo Massimo’s cafeteria.
Parallel to my experience at Liorni’s I opened her own business focusing mainly on residential architecture and interior design, deepening my knowledge on the relationship between man and the surrounding space.
I am also a great passionate about photography and art and I have participated in various group exhibitions.
