The profile of Fabio Perissinotto
My name is Fabio Perissinotto, I'm 40 and I'm an artist, I love working in my garden and I gladly receive requests from beginners to teach the approach to Bonsai both technically and aesthetically. I work and try to pass on what I have learned over the years with my Maestro Gianni Cara and Naoki Maeoka.
I live in Verbania a city in northern Italy that overlooks a wonderful lake. I have two daughters and a wonderful wife. I have always lived among plants and mountains.
My father did Bonsai when I was little and my Grandmother collected plants even before I was born. For this reason, I have been making Bonsai for the past 15 years and I try to enhance every plant I see and that I work with or that I am asked to work with. My concept is "there are no ugly plants, but only young plants".
