participating in numerous national and international festivals.

For some time he has devoted himself to writing contemporary classical music and in 2018 he founded the "Istantanea" ensemble together with other musicians and composers from Bologna.

He works as a composer and performer for the theater, collaborating permanently with Elena Bucci, and the company Le Belle Bandiere.

He collaborated on the composition of the soundtrack of the film "L’attesa" by Piero Messina, winner of the golden lion at the 2015 Venice Film Festival starring the Oscar-winning actress Juliette Binoche.
