Rather by chance I found myself playing the lute at the age of ten. I owe the luck of this particular incident to Maurizio Baghin and Dario Pivato (my first lute teacher). As part of the school project “Dolce Consort” they introduced me to this instrument – which was quite unusual for a boy of that age. However I would say that I received my first musical "education" a few years earlier thanks to my older brother and all the music he listened to: grunge, metal, rock, reggae and more. I consider these experiences the true beginning of my passion for music and the joy of listening and for that I am very grateful to my brother. The idea of concentrating my relationship with music in one specific genre of music has always made me feel very claustrophobic. For this reason, I have always tried to open other doors to other types of music than those related to my main instruments (lutes). First I played electric guitar and keyboards, then I studied composition and jazz improvisation. During my training I was lucky enough to meet teachers to whom I owe much: among others I would like to thank Massimo Lonardi, Tiziano Bagnati, Riccardo Vaglini for their importance in my years of study.
