I started studying piano when I was a child at the “G.Verdi” Music Institute in Asti. My teacher Giuseppe Peirolo, a great organist and holy music composer, helped me a lot at the beginning indeed, out of lesson hours, he brought me to many churches with important and historical organs in the North of Italy (SERASSI, VEGGEZZI-BOSSI).

All this experience brought me a deep knowledge both in organ music of all times and in the working of these fascinating instruments. My love for pipe organ’s timbres (the flautus) never left me and you can recognize it in the orchestral parts in my music. I continued my piano studies at Conservatorio Statale “A. Vivaldi” in Alessandria under the concert artist from Turin Maria Gachet’s direction.

When I turned 18 I knew the Rock-Progressive music and in 1977 I realized the album “FORSE LE LUCCIOLE NON SI AMANO PIU’” with the “LOCANDA DELLE FATE” band. The LP has been recorded on POLYDOR-POLYGRAM label and produced by the Greek NIKO PAPATHANASSIOU, great VANGELIS’s brother.

In the meantime I worked as a “shift worker” in many record rooms in Milan, but, when it was time to choose between a life as a musician or finishing my medicine studies, I chose this last one, because both of my parents pressure and the incompatibility between freedom in producing music without commercial encumbrances and the professional work.

At the moment I work as a Doctor - Dentist but, as I always say: “I can’t fall asleep unperturbed if I don’t play my piano at least one hour a day… it’s my daily emotional charge I can’t live without! “.

In last years the UNIVERSAL-MUSIC decided to rewrite the old LP and dealt it out all over the world. It was a unexpected increasing of public and critic consents (as the thousand of links in GOOGLE show, many invitations to international festivals and the last article written in March 2007 on American “GOLD MINE” Magazine where the old album has been ranked among the most 25 beautiful Rock-Progressive music albums of all times.

All this encouraged me to take composing music again.
