My work looks into the minute.

I paint by glazing on raw enamel, with the tip of the brush. It is a rare and exacting technique: you work on the enamel before firing, and every touch stays.

I was born in Guardiagrele, in Abruzzo, in 1967, and I grew up in the studio of my father Antonio Vincenzo Iannucci (Ortona 1939–2012), a painter of sacred cycles in the churches of Abruzzo. I worked alongside him until I was twenty-three, then took my own path in ceramics, training under Maestro Luigi Bozzelli (Rapino 1922–2010), who opened this demanding art to me.

Today I work in my studio in Montegranaro, in the Marche, between commissioned pieces, civic plates for towns, and exhibitions.
