Musician and composer, he was born in Piacenza, where he attended the Nicolini Conservatory, studying composition first with Carlo Alessandro Landini and subsequently with Barbara Rettagliati. He further completed his education through masterclasses and advanced courses held by some of today’s most important composers, including Giorgio Colombo Taccani, Stefano Gervasoni, Oscar Strasnoy, Michael Jarrell, and Ivan Fedele.
He made his debut as a composer in 2019, when his pieces Vier frühe Lieder and Hölderlin-Lieder premiered in Piacenza and subsequently performed in Parma (May 2019), Milan (September 2019), and once again in his hometown (April 2021). His Sonata No. 1 for piano “Verklärung” (2019/2020) received numerous awards, including the International Composition Competition “Città di Albenga” and was honored with the second award at the Premio Alberghini. Included in an installation for the Piacenza Musica Festival 2021, the Sonata was also presented on a European tour across Germany, the Netherlands, France, and Spain.
In 2023, he entered the symphonic scene, first composing Schatten for the Symphony Orchestra of the Nicolini Conservatory and subsequently winning the Second Prize at the XXIX edition of the 2 Agosto International Composition Competition, one of the most prestigious in Europe. His piece Broken Streams for large symphony orchestra had its world premiere broadcast live on RAI5 with the Orchestra del Teatro Comunale di Bologna, conducted by Jaume Santonja.
In 2024, he made his overseas debut with Sonetto Morto: originally composed for the commemoration of Sylvano Bussotti (2021), thanks to the support of NoMus, Fondazione Piseri, and Società del Quartetto di Milano, the piece was subsequently performed at UMBC in Baltimore, Maryland.
