After my graduation in composition, piano and conducting, the biggest question was how to bring my dream come true: living for and by music. I started up as a pianist, a composer, a rehearsal accompanist (repetiteur), a choirmaster (choreinstudierung), never failing to take any opportunities to gain experience.Two Tournée with Gustav Mahler Jughend Orchestra marked a turning point in my life: tanks to the will and the efforts of big men and big Maestros many young musicians could play together and it gave me energy and joy.Then, I’ve been given the chance to be the artistic secretary of an orchestra made of young talents that had the chance to live by their music. I stayed with them for seven year, working hardly but usefully, side by side with the stable conductor, trodding the stage of famous theatres. Then I became the new conductor.

I started up my career as conductor in Verona during the contemporary music season “Prima Verona” . I worked hard with excellent but still not well-known composers: this circumstance was very stimulating.

Then, many prestigious opportunities came to me. I conducted:

• the world premiere of the ballet “Dylan Dog” by Marco Tutino;
• “Le donne curiose” by E. Wolf Ferrari, at the opening season of the Philarmonik Theatre in Verona. The full show was broadcasted by the National RAI TV.

Two opening seasons with rare and precious shows:

• “Jean d’Arc au bucher” by Honegger, an Oratorio performed by 250 people at Massimo Theatre in Palermo;
• “Cimarron” by Hanz Werner Henze during “Macerata Opera”. The Opera won the Abbiati Price, then it was performed at Ravello Festival and at La Cavallerizza Theatre in Reggio Emilia;

• I came back to Palermo at Massimo Theatre to produce: “The Little Mozart”, a project that involved 200 artists.
• “Pygmalion” by Donizetti and “The Songstress” by Haydn, performed by very young artists: this opera toured Europe and arrived at Lubiana Theatre;

Then I conducted:

• the Kracovia Philarmonik Orchestra in “Princessin Brambilla” from Walter Braunfels’s manuscript, at Wexford Opera Festival (recordered and distributed by Ed. Naxos). This work was rarely performed because of its musical and technical difficulty;
• the Tokyo Philarmonik Orchestra for the world premiere of “Campiello” by E. Wolf Ferrari at Bunkamura Orchardhall in Tokyo. The opera was performed by big singers and young artists from Tokio Fujiwara Opera School. It was a great success.
• I conducted “Viaggio a Reims” at the Rossini Opera Festival . There I worked with M° Zedda to select young singers : all the chosen singers are now in career.
• Then I came back to the Rossini Opera Festival to direct the Rossini Orchestra from Pesaro for a lyrical galà.

Others institutions gave me their support such as:

• The Marchigiana Philarmonik Orchestra, that invited me to perform several concerts  that ended in the RAI international TV program at Pergolesi Theatre in Jesi.
• The Roma and Lazio Orchestra: I conducted the beautiful Gedini ‘s concert “Il Concerto dell’albatros”  with Arnoldo Foa reciter and I joined the Orchestra on its first tournée in Hungary
• The Bruno Maderna Orchestra;
• The Magna Grecia Orchestra;
• The Lyrical and Symphonical Orchestra from Nancy;
• The Bratislava Radio Orchestra;
• The Verdi Theatre Orchestra from Trieste;
• The Fujiwara Opera, the oldest company in Japan, that invited me to conduct theTokyo Philharmonik Orchestra in “Traviata" at Bunkamura Orchardhall in Tokyo;
• Wielki Theatre from Varsavia in “Il “Rigoletto” for two years. 

Teaching Conducting reminds me my beginning, my hopes and my dream, that are the same of my young students.

In addition to the beautiful messages that music can deliver, all the productions I have been assigned, convey two basic assumptions

• It’s a big joy to improve talent and professionalism by true chances. It’s our right to have real opportunities, we all need in the beginning, in the order to offer and gain humanity and dignity, so that we can say that our life isn’t meaningless. 

• We have to be strong to make our dreams come true. We can nourish our strength on the amazing “desire to do”, which is peculiar to the young generations, and on the enthusiasm typical of the new projects.

Being convinced of my beliefs, I met an extraordinary person, Marco Patrignani. We organized an audition which got the participation of 1300 musicians. The Italian Orchestra of the Cinema (OIC), established at the Forum Village in Rome, was founded thanks to this experience. It wants to promote and represent the artistic inheritance of the Film Music, looking for and restoring the scores of the masterpieces of the great Cinema, so letting hundred musicians the possibility to work. I was honoured when I was appointed director of the Orchestra, since great Directors, such as Franco Ferrara and Leonard Bernstein, had been in my place before. Nowadays the Orchestra is engaged in recording tracksuits and in performing multimedial events.

• In the occasion of the European Feast of Music at the Capitol in Rome, he Orchestra performed “Neorealismo” film music in a multimedial concert, whose peculiarity was stressed by mass media, including the national television.
• I directed the OIC at the end of the opening ceremony of the 1^st edition of Peking Cinema Festival, broadcasted “live” from the great “National Center for The Performing Arts” (NCPA. On the following days I also directed a synphonic-visual evocative double concert in the historical “Great Hall of The People”, seat of the Chinese Parliament, in Tienanmen Square. The event was broadcasted by the CCTV, the state television, several times and it was seen by more than one hundred million people. According to the Chinese government, it was the most important cultural event of the year.
• In 2011, during the Roma International Film Festival, a production called “Cinematology” was made up, gaining prominence on the national and international press

I was recently guest at the Human-Rights Center in Osaka. There I could experience what I always believe in: because of its grace, its silence, its power to touch, Music can get into the heart, filling the generational gap, breaking down the walls between the nations and the ideologies. Music is the means of peace, hope, fraternity, universal values that make the kind of life I always want to live more appreciable. 

It’s this way that, drawing from the great musical tradition and cooperating with notable men and musicians, I’m dreaming of developing new creative horizons by employing human resources needing to be improved thanks to an enlightened and skilled guide in order to show their potentiality.    

• In the wake of these projects, in May I’m flying to USA to reach, as the last destination,Carnegie Hall. An Italian atmosphere will be breathed with the Matera musicians whose programme will include the Lucan composer Egidio Romualdo Duni’s works.
• I will open the 2012 edition of Macerata Opera Festival with “Traviata”. On the stage there will be professional singers and young musicians of promise.
• In August the opera “Cavalleria Rusticana” will be performed in cooperation with the Italian and Japanese musicians from Human Rights Project.
• On 21^st June, on the occasion of the European Feast of Music, the OIC will present “Momenti di Gloria” (Glory Times), a multimedial concert dedicated to the Italian and British cinema. New and thrilling projects are being planned, including the foundation of an academy.
• In March I'll conduct "L'Italiana in Algeri" in Geneva.
