Federico, Tomasi, paint the picture.

Born in Stockholm, age 37, lived in Sweden until I was 13 years old. My parents moved to Italy and that’s where I grew up, basically. I studied at the Institute of Art in Riccone, Italy, for five years.


On first meeting we guess most people think you’re Italian – your mannerisms, accent, speech?

Yeah, I feel more Italian than anything else.


Did you ever pick up a brush before going to art school?

No, it was probably my father, Mauro’s, influence.
