Resume
It is a fact that I simply but recisively refuse to confuse the artist's consciousness, which is one thing, with his sincerity, which is quite another.
The latter is worth less than nothing if the former does not help it to manifest itself.
This consciousness demands that we develop in ourselves the good craftsman.
Maurice Ravel
Education
Composer and guitarist, I trained under Maestro Eugenio Becherucci for the instrument and Maestro Luca Salvadori for composition at the Conservatory of Frosinone. After completing my studies at the Conservatory, I earned a Certificate of Performance in Composition from the Musik und Kunst Privatuniversität der Stadt Wien (MUK in Vienna) under the guidance of Maestro Dirk D’Ase. I specialized in opera composition at the Accademia dei Mestieri dell’Opera (AMO) of the Fondazione Teatro Coccia in Novara, under the guidance of Maestro Marco Taralli. Additionally, I explored new possibilities for chamber music through the Composition for Ancient Instruments course led by Maestro Simone Fontanelli at the Fondazione Accademia Chigiana in Siena.
Works
My work ranges from chamber music to opera, including incidental music for prose theater, guitar music, music for experimental dance, and video art. My compositions have been performed at prestigious venues such as the Fondazione Teatro Coccia in Novara, the Accademia Chigiana in Siena, the Mozarteum in Salzburg, the Steinwaysalon and the MUK University in Vienna, the Teatro Palladium in Rome, the Fabbrica del Vapore in Milan, the Conservatório Rio Grande do Norte, and the Stanislaw Moniuszko Academy of Music in Gdańsk.
Pubblications
My works have previously been published by Sinfonica and Da Vinci publishing houses. I currently collaborate with Music Ensemble Publishing (MEP Editions). Since 2024, I have been a member of the Italian Society for Contemporary Music (SIMC).
Mission
If I had to summarize what moves me when I write music, I would say that is the constant research for new hybrid forms of expression that put together the great Western tradition with today’s reality, by merging different artistic languages in a wider world continuously changing. What I research is also the maximum clarity of expression toward the public, and at the same time the maximum intellectual honesty as an artist.
