about me

Now, after many many years, if I had to tell you when started it all, I won't know how to answer … surely since always!

First of all, Hirta Solaro who head me to the right way to open my own grooming place "Colacoda".

The meeting with LUCA BERTO has been decisive. His great will to do, has been infectious for me. Staying together on various Sundays grooming dogs, comparing each other to improve the technical knowlege, was really important for my professional growth. Then I had many opportunities to learn from some master groomers, as the Ripamonti family, Umberto Lhemman, Ferruccio Soave.

Definitely after that, constancy and perseverance surely contributed to come to the next big step: the competitions. This was a moment of great aggregation, sharing those moments with many persons joint by the same passion: the grooming! The results from the competitions didn't delayed too much, and at every achieved victory there was always in my desire to continue improving.

Another important turning point, was to meet Lise-Lotte Nilsson, well known Swedich Bedlington terrier breeder, and an excellent groomer; her meticulousness and her great knowledge of the lines, revolutioned my way of grooming.

My heartful thanks to all breeders, who had the patience to answer to all my questions, teaching me the particularity of their own breeds.
