FRANCESCO RUGIERO was born in Vicenza in 1964 he attended the technical high school and after several years of experience in the business of stone working decided to focus on sculpture. Francesco lives and perform his artistic work at the foot of the Berici hills where the white stone is part of the nature and traditionally exctracted. The continuous research for a symbiosis between the man and the nature originated unique pieces for interior decoration or lamps or architectural elements like stairs or fireplaces. The leit motiv is always the creation of single pieces from the idea to the project and realization in the respect of the tradition.
