Born in Diso (province of Lecce) in 1972. He is an artist, activist and promoter of projects in the fields of agroecology, social agriculture and participatory processes and community reappropriation of common goods.

He works in the fields of public art, performance, video and installations. His research is oriented towards collaborative and participatory practices and politically motivated actions, developing a practice that activates collective potential and imaginary, starting from the analysis of specific social, political and cultural contexts.

He is currently a co-activator of the movement linked to the Casa delle Agriculture of Castiglione d’Otranto (Lecce) with which, in addition to participating in the artistic direction of the Notte Verde festival: Agriculture, utopias and communities, he develops the long-term projects of the Parco Comune dei Frutti Minori (since 2013) and School of Agriculture (2018), a pedagogical platform that combines agroecological knowledge with artistic strategies and builds dynamic relationships with migrant communities, students, farmers and activists.
