Hi everyone, my name is Gianni and I never thought I'd be a hatter in life. I was born in southern Germany and artistically trained in four European capitals: Rome, Madrid, Paris and Berlin.

I worked in the theater as an actor, director and assistant account designer and costume designer. I experimented as a self-taught painting and plastic arts, collaborating with many international artists, setting up personal and collective exhibitions! In 2009 I was in Berlin to participate in the Fête de la Musique and it was on that occasion that I met Carlos Klein. From there my life would change forever! I was very fascinated by his work and wanted to learn. He taught me the basic techniques and left me free to find my own creative dimension. It was very tiring because it seems like an easy job, but it's not at all. Only after five years of experimentation did I sell my first hat. My creative process is performative, coming from the theater, every time I need to become what I am going to create. It is an act of psychomagic as Jodorowsky understands. The final result is the whole of all my artistic experiences. Parallel to this work as a hatter I carry on other independent artistic projects because I strongly believe in the versatility of the artist!
