to transform and develop his musicianship and personal vocabulary
incorporating his experience as a foreigner in Scandinavia

Italian and Swedish scene as a session musician and soloist developing his own projects.

He has just published his first project as bandleader La spiga (Dodicilune E212),

His music could be described as a successful encounter between
his own personal lyricism and the Nordic tone.
This Record attempts to create a Cultural Bridge
between Italian lyricism and the Scandinavian sense of space.
