He studied at the Istituto d'Arte Venturi in Modena under the guidance of Enos Passerini, Giovanni Minuti, Benito Boccolari, and Marino Quartieri. Nordera's artistic style evolved over time, from his early work with terracotta and bronze to his later exploration of movement, slant, and lightness in marble.
