I am a professional son of Samuele Valerio who thought me once… Nature, aesthetics, cosmetics and conservation are the same thing… dentistry. In my private practice in Sestri Levante, near the Ligurian sea I have learnt how to make wonderful dentistry in wonderful people, just putting passion in every little thing. After my dental training in Genova I have had the opportunity to travel around Italy and the world lecturing and training dentists in Aesthetic and Conservative Dentistry. Passion for composite has given me the opportunity of being a teacher in conservative dentistry in Genova and Madrid. And in the present time a Professor in Siena (Siena University), Marsella (Universiè de la Mediterranèe) and Barcelona (Universitat Internacional de Catalunya). Author and co-author of several publications in scientific international journals, lecturer in national and international courses and congresses on this subject.
