Mauro perucchetti biography template

Italian, b. 1949

Born in 1949 in Milan, Perucchetti was an only child. Initially taking a job in Milan, he then moved to Rome and enrolled for classes in theatre studies.

Starting to act in film, he worked with Elizabeth Taylor and Andy Warhol in The Driver's Seat (1974).  More film roles followed and he set up a production company, hoping to initiate something better than the current spate of kung-fu movies.

Changing course once again, he relocated to London and threw himself into architectural and design work.

In 2000, Perucchetti sold his design and architectural practice and his home so he could become a full-time artist.

It was lustrous and transparent, forever changing under different lighting conditions.
