About Me.

Costabile Piccirillo was born in Naples in 1985.

He spent part of his childhood in S. Maria of Castellabate, close to the city of Salerno.
In 2004, he moved to Milan, where he attended the Art Academy of Brera.
He achieved a degree in Painting in 2009, than a second degree in Sculpture in 2012.
Actually he lives and works alternating himself among the dynamism of the chief town of Lombardia

and the calm of the Mediterranean coast.
