Luigi Profeta

Luigi Profeta was born in Milan on 13 July 1969, lives and works in Cormano (MI) Since he was a boy, his artistic streak led him to experiment with many forms of art, from photography, his first great love, to sculpture and painting. In the 90s he opened a knitwear workshop with his wife Rossella, where he designed garments and models which he then developed and sold to numerous shops and brands. Precisely thanks to this activity, he met the maestro Alfonso Madaluni, who immediately grasped the artistic potential of Luigi Profeta. In fact, he was a pupil of the master for a few years, after which with Madaluni's push he created his first solo exhibition, which proved to be an unexpected success, of the 32 canvases on display, 28 were sold. Thus began his journey into the world of art. Profeta has numerous experiences in the field of photography and numerous collaborations with private laboratories and national photographers.
