He began his journey as a craftsman with the processing of leather on which he performs carving at the tip of a knife, a technique usually used on wood. The palms and rosettes made with this technique still enrich his works. He then attended a workshop course with the Master Craftsman Luciano Regazzoni, thus putting in his artistic baggage also sculpture: today he performs in fact sculptures on wood and stone, combining the various materials with each other. Manuel’s favorite subjects are gnomes, which he depicts in fine medieval costumes. For years he has participated in the different Fairs in the Aosta Valley and has been a guest in Switzerland, France, Malta and Holland, promoting the Aosta Valley crafts.
