Having won a scholarship from the Wilhelm Lehmbruck Museum [1] in Duisburg, he spent 1989 and 1990 in Germany in a studio located on the site of the Krupp Steelworks in Rheinhausen.
After returning to Italy he spent two years teaching sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Urbino before dedicating himself entirely to his own work.
The initial fruits of this influence upon his work were presented for the first time at the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara, Italy.
It was here that Carlesso came into contact with proprietors and institutions from the near East and this resulted in his participation in a number of exhibitions and projects.
Carlesso’s sculptures are featured in public collections around the world, including the Mannheim Kunstmuseum, the German Post Office in Dortmund, the Deutsche Bank in Frankfurt and the Bolzano Museum of Modern Art.
