Rooting from the Southern coast of Italy (Puglia), Marianna Piccolo, an Architect and interior designer developed an aesthetic sense of beauty at an early age which was mainly influenced by culture, art, music but, most importantly by the rustic beauty and the famous imperial architecture of Italy.

Her outstanding architecture and interior designing skills (earned from the legendary Polytechnic University of Milan) gave her the opportunity to work in the eponymous design studio in Milan, under the supervision of the Italian God-Father of architecture and interior designing, Marco Piva. He taught Marianna the rational approach to designing while listening to her creative mind along with thinking out of the box.
