“As we say in Italy, if you love what you are doing, it doesn’t matter how long it is going to take, because you will enjoy the whole time you are doing it. I really love to carve, especially watermelons, because they remind me of my birth country. Because of their colors—green, red and white—and also because of their size. I can choose any design, even if it would take a while.”
