After passing his Art School diploma,
Fabrizio Notarpietro studied a supplementary course in 1985 in order to enrol at the Accademia delle Belle Arti In Turin. In 1990 he got a degree as a set designer.
His love of art in all forms, from movies and photography to the history of art inspired him to present important papers about Rene Magritte; his final thesis was about surrealism and Magritte.
