About me
I was born in Genoa in 1963 and have worked in the world of windows and doors since I was just 18.
Since 1991 I have guided professionals and private clients in choosing window frames and armoured doors, with the aim of improving security, living comfort and quality of life within the home.
Over the years I have founded several specialist companies that address complementary aspects of the home and of technical expertise.
Tigullio Design is my long-standing company dedicated to window frames and solutions for home comfort.
Finestre Antirumore was created to offer window frames with superior acoustic performance, designed for those who want to reduce noise from outside significantly.
Ariete Security Doors is dedicated to security entrance doors for flats and detached houses, while the Accademia di Posa is the training project aimed at fitters who want to raise their technical level.
My experience is built on years of hands-on work, continuous training and a clear vision of the window and door as a functional and strategic part of the home.

My most important project
My Accademia di Posa
It is not just the product that counts, it is how it is fitted.
Many people talk about high-performance window frames and secure armoured doors, but few explain what really happens on site. An excellent window, if poorly fitted, loses insulation, durability and value. That is why I created the Accademia di Posa: a place where I teach professionals to work with method, precision and responsibility, because quality comes from the installation.

They talk about me
I have worked with leading portals and magazines in the field of doors and windows, and I have spoken at the Made Expo in Milan. Here you will find some publications about me and my projects.
A little more about me
Work is a fundamental part of my life, but it is not everything. I believe in family values, in the discipline of sport and in continuous improvement. Every experience, personal or professional, shapes who I am today.
Experience and outreach
Beyond running companies and training projects, I devote myself to sharing technical knowledge through articles, interviews and collaborations with trade magazines and portals. I have spoken at the Made Expo in Milan, a leading event for construction and architecture, where I told the story of Studio Tigullio Design, awarded best 4.0 showroom in the doors and windows sector.
Life and passions
I am the husband of Gabriella and the father of Andrea and Giorgia. Running has been a passion of mine for more than fifteen years, and I have served as president of the Genoa Half Marathon. Running, work and personal life shape one another: discipline, consistency and resilience are values I bring to every part of my life.
My dream is to keep learning, innovating and passing on knowledge, never ceasing to challenge myself.
