Shortly after his birth, his parents moved to Castelnuovo Magra, in the province of La Spezia. From early childhood, a passion for horses emerged \u2013 one that would shape his entire life as well as his artistic vision.  <\/p><p>He pursued his art studies in nearby Carrara, and it was during that period that he first approached sculpture and painting.<\/p><p>In 1996, he met the Costa Rican sculptor <strong>Jorge Jim\u00e9nez Deredia<\/strong>, with whom he began a fruitful collaboration. Working in the Master\u2019s studio, he learned the secrets of this complex art form and structured his thinking by embracing Deredia\u2019s vision, based on a <strong>cosmic conception of life<\/strong> in which matter exists in a constant state of transformation, human experience represents only one phase within a broader cycle of consciousness, and death is merely a change of form. <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4df2fed e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-child\" data-id=\"4df2fed\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d5f1679 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d5f1679\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>It was in this period that he produced numerous drawings through which many of his formal intuitions emerged \u2013 intuitions that would later lead to complex sculptures such as &#8220;Lovers&#8221;.<\/p><p>His daily contact with horses enabled him to investigate their form, study their most distinctive gestures, and understand their most intimate secrets \u2013 transforming them into art.<\/p><p>Over time, his passion for art and equestrian sports merged into one single, overarching life project.<\/p><p>Since 2022, he has exhibited his works consistently, receiving broad and positive recognition within the field.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-492ec5d e-grid e-con-full elementor-hidden-widescreen elementor-hidden-desktop elementor-hidden-laptop elementor-hidden-tablet_extra elementor-hidden-tablet elementor-hidden-mobile_extra elementor-hidden-mobile e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"492ec5d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bba15c2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bba15c2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1317\" src=\"https:\/\/www.robertofiasella.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/roberto-fiasella.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2406\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.robertofiasella.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/roberto-fiasella.webp 1000w, https:\/\/www.robertofiasella.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/roberto-fiasella-228x300.webp 228w, https:\/\/www.robertofiasella.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/roberto-fiasella-778x1024.webp 778w, https:\/\/www.robertofiasella.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/roberto-fiasella-768x1011.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-19ad65d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"19ad65d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6de0a99 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6de0a99\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Born in Saint Croix (Switzerland) on January 22, 1972, to a Tuscan father and a Apulian mother, he lives in Castelnuovo Magra, in the province of La Spezia.<\/p><p>Graduated from the \u201cArtemisia Gentileschi\u201d Art High School in Carrara, he met and studied with sculptor <strong>Jim\u00e9nez Deredia<\/strong>.
