I was born in 1977 in Portogruaro, near Venice, where I attended the XXV Aprile classical high school and graduated in 1995.

 

That same year, I was admitted to the Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics degree programme at the University of Trieste. I spent five formative years studying and training there, in a city that remains very special to me.

​

In 2000, I graduated in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics with a final mark of 110/110 cum laude.

 

Since then, I have continued my postgraduate education through numerous advanced courses and congresses. Among the programmes that have had the greatest influence on my clinical development are the two-year programme in prosthodontics and implant prosthodontics led by Dr Stefano Gracis in Milan and the periodontology programme led by Prof Giovanni Zucchelli in Bologna.
