He started playing flute at 14, under Gabriele Gallotta (now chief chair in Milan conservatory).  He played in various rock-progressive bands, and then, in the 90ies, with a band named "Maramao", (still on).
In the mid 90ies he started studying all contemporary flute techniques, and some of the eminent contemporary repertoire, such as Debussy, Varése, Berio, Fukushima and the beloved John Cage. That's his repertoire now.
His jazz style is unrelated with any conventional  school. Now he experiments with loops and electronic devices.
Graphic design:
He started on graphic arts in late '80es drawing lettering for AnziBesson sportswear collection (with Luigi Dolci).
Then he was the "image thinker" for "il riverbero interferenze culturali", a culture club. His first graphic works (booklets and posters) became a big, unexpected, success. Very outrageous they became suddenly a cult in young people. He was the author of the texts too.
in 1995 he founded, with the friends Emilio Corti and the well known Emilio Prini, the first web magazine of contemporary art in italy, "internez, musée imaginaire".
he made some art jobs conceived for the web. Such as: "esco, una sequenza all'infinito di colori che può essere interrotta in qualalalunque moment per passare a altra pagina dell'internez" by emilio prini. at the time he had not the necessary technologies.
At the time he directed the web version of the musicological magazine Musica/Realtà, by Luigi Pestalozza, in Milan.
After that he founded a computer company named  "phase imaging" (the name, by himself, is in honor to Steve Reich musician) working in the photographic area.
He made some many registered trademarks, for companies, culture clubs and business products.
He designed some special products and packaging.

With this work he started working on stereoscopic 3D photography and animation.
Photo design:
Passionate in industrial archeological aesthetic, he made his first exhibition in 1990, the subject were ruined industrial and civil buildings, anticipating the current themes. The show was called "ruins".
In 1994 was the second exhibition, in Mariano Comense (Italy) in the collective titled "arte benefica", with the theme "the shoe" where he made his first "ready-made", his own footprint on photo paper. He coinceived the graphic message of the entire exibition too.
The pictures were mostly from Staglieno cemetery in Genoa.
In 1996 all his equipment was stolen, so he decided to do no more photographs.
He restarted in 2001, he made some official shots, philosophers and musicians were is preferred subjects.
Today his interest are about philosophy and psicology, due to personal events, and the pictures are mostly about it.
