Simoncini.Tangi was born from the encounter of two apparently different realities, the artistic-theatrical one of Daniela Simoncini and the technical-scientific one of Pasquale Tangi. Pasquale was born in Faeto (Foggia) and graduated in Industrial Engineering from the University of Florence in 2008. In 2009 he enrolled in the “FuturoVegetale” Master of the neurobiologist Stefano Mancuso and prof. Leonardo Chiesi, to deepen the relationship between Man, Environment and Nature. Daniela Simoncini was born in Poggibonsi (Siena) and graduated in the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence, in the Painting section with prof. Gianfranco Notargiacomo. He studied theater with the vocalist actress Gabriella Bartolomei and contemporary dance with Cristina Bonati. She currently teaches pictorial and graphic disciplines at the Liceo Artistico U. Brunelleschi in Montemurlo (PO). In 2020 he joined the “Ginax” group (S.Carbone, A. Castiglione, A. Cattani, P.Gagiotti, S.Galegati, C.Longo, V.Manzi, C. Modica, F. Pasini, L.Perlo, DG Quadrio Curzio, G.Restifo, S.Ravelli, G. Scardi, U.Zanetti).
