Hi my name is Roberto and I was born in Rome on January 26, 1954. When I was a little boy I loved putting on plays and acting in the theater. I did it for fun and I enjoyed it, which is why I studied cinema and photography.

I also learned about making jewelry during that time, which was to become part of the props in my plays. My jewelry designs are based on my theater plays.

"In 1976, I decided to leave Europe so I came to Mexico and I was able to pursue my theatrical interests with a Mexican theater company. Mexico is ever present in my theater plays and in my jewelry designs.

"I like living in Mexico because it is an interesting place were new things are always happening. I admire Mexican artistry. There are many artists and artisans who work with a free spirit that reaches the soul.

"I work with a group of people who help me, but I consider that the relationship we've got goes beyond work. My dreams for the future include to continue my work as a jewelry designer, and to be able to open a performing arts school so I can transmit what I have learned.

"My designs are happy, and they are intended to bring happiness. Grazie!"
