I am a Restoration Technician, the figure who collaborates with the Restorer for the conservation and restoration of cultural heritage.
My passion is working on paintings and ancient books, but also on various types of construction sites.
I started studying to become a Cultural Heritage Restoration Technician in 2020, at Engim restauration in Vicenza.
In addition to the training modules attended during the course, Engim has planned several school construction sites in which I have tried my hand at real restorations.
I also activated a 2-month internship during the third training year.
Afterwards I started my career and I had different experiences, from the collaboration on decorated walls in an eighteenth-century villa in the Vicenza area, to the retouching of pictorial canvases, to the restoration of wood and to an experience abroad in Saudi Arabia, and much more.
