What is the best thing that I love about my work? The thing I love the most about my work – apart from drawing – is to know people that, like me, are passionate about art.

What is my idea of perfect happiness? My idea of happiness is to cheer people with art, make them happy with it. I deeply believe that art has to make people feel better, it has to cause amazement in them because of the beauty of the artwork and it also has to cause happiness for the feelings that the artwork instills. Art has to be like a medicine for the body and the soul, I think.

What is my greatest fear? My greatest fear is to lose the most important people in my life.

What is the trait that I most deplore in myself? I would definitely change my little tenacity and the hesitation I have when I had to take big decisions – frequently fear blocked me. It’s very difficult to me even to talk with someone I truly esteem. I’m not so brave – I have to say that.

Which living persons in my profession do i most admire? I deeply admire italian illustrators like Lorenzo Ceccotti or Gloria Pizzilli, I follow the work of a lot of italian artists – more or less famous. I really like the street art of Joys, Peeta and Moneyless.

What is my greatest extravagance? My greatest extravagance was to draw in classroom during lessons. Teachers often reprimanded me but I continued drawing anyway – because I enjoyed drawing more than listening to their lessons.

On what occasion would I lie? I’m not able to tell lies. If I tell one, sooner shame makes me go back on the right way of honesty.

What is the thing that I dislike the most in my work? I don’t like to explain why I do art in a certain way, I’m an autodidact even if I studied art. I’m convinced that in my art everyone can see what he/she wants without asking me explanations. For example, my grandmother sees Europe’s history, with its wars and peaces, in an artwork I did on a wall in her house – and I didn’t explain her anything. So, I think that art shouldn’t be explained.

When and where was I the happiest, in my work? My work made me happy when I realized that I could make people I know happy with art.

If I could, what would I change about myself? If I could I would change the little tenacity I always had, and I would like to be more clever when I submit my art to people – I still don’t know how to get people to know me as an artist.

What is my greatest achievement in work? To finish an artwork is a great achievement to me, and the little exhibition I organize in my town was a little personal satisfaction.

Where would I most like to live? I would really like to live in Venice, Berlin and Tokyo. In Venice because it was my father’s hometown, in Berlin because I enjoy electronic music and in Tokyo because I love Japan.

What is my most treasured possession? My greatest treasure is a photo of my father. I’m an orphan from 2000, I didn’t ever know him and I know that he would be proud of me if he had the chance to see my artworks.

What is my most marked characteristic? In my drawings there are always two letters (V and S) that are the initial letters of the name and the surname of a person who’s really important to me.

What is my most inspirational location, in my city? My most ispirational location in my city is my room where are guarded some books and where is a wall painted by me. Often the ideas which arise in my mind while I am in bed – as a matter of fact I often don’t sleep because I think about how can I realize a certain idea.

Who are my favorite writers? I don’t read much, some time ago I read and enjoyed Lovecraft – I really like the detailed descriptions of the settings where his stories take life.

You Only Die Once. What music would I listen on my last day? If I had to die now I would like to die listening to Nujabes, Royksopp and Franco Battiato.

Who are my heroes and heroines in real life? My heroes in real life are all the creative people: artists, illustrators, graphic designers, writers, painters, sculptors, architects that make this planet a better place with their art.

Which movie would I recommend to see once in a lifetime? Emperor’s New Groove, Her and all the movies by Hayao Miyazaki.

What role plays art in my life and work? During the past two years I draw almost every day, if I’m not drawing I’m studying other artist’s works. When I was a kid art started fascinated me and I hope it will last like this forever.

Whom would I like to work with in 2018? I would like to work with Lorenzo Ceccotti or Gloria Pizzilli even if it’s almost impossible because the way we draw is so different.

Which people in my profession would I love to meet in 2018? I’ll take any proposal 😀

What project, in 2018, am I looking forward to work on? I would like to exhibit my artworks 😀

Where can you see me or my work in 2018? Who knows, I hope in a gallery.

Which creative heroes should Peter invite to tell their story? I think Ale Giorgini and Claudio Acciari.
