Giulio Squillacciotti was born in Rome in 1982. After studying Medieval Art in Rome and Barcelona, he moved to Venice to attend the Visual Arts courses at IUAV university. His academic background led him to work on issues related to narrative and on ways of developing it, starting from a historical-anthropological point of view combined with fictitious elements created ad hoc. His work, in the form of film, performance, text and symposium, has been exhibited and presented in various national and international contexts.
