He began the study of the violin at the age of 11 with Maestro Marcello Bianchi, with whom he brilliantly obtained his diploma, at the Conservatorio "A. Vivaldi" in Alessandria.

 

From a very young age, he was urged by his teacher towards the study and practice of chamber music in various formations, which earned him numerous and important awards. He won the first prize in the "Rassegna Musicale Internazionale F. Mendelssohn" in Alassio in 2011 in the formation of a piano quartet, with which he subsequently performed in major Italian cities (including Genoa, Milan and Venice).

 

With Maestro Maurizio Cadossi, he approached the string quartet and established a fruitful collaboration with the Coro da Camera del Conservatorio, conducted by Maestro Marco Berrini, which led to an equally prestigious concert activity (Cremona, Biella, Alessandria and other cities), crowned by the recording, in 2015, of a disc: an elaboration for string quartet and mixed voices choir, curated by Mauro Zuccante, of songs from the Great War.

 

Again in the chamber music field, he specialised in the violin and piano duo with Marcello Bianchi, Daniela Demicheli and Claudio Merlo. He also participated in the recording of a second disc with Salvatore Tirone, performing the Sonatina op. 100 by A. Dvoràk.

 

As a soloist, he was the protagonist of numerous events, including the collaboration for the concert "L'oro d'Italia" of the Orchestra Filarmonica Italiana, the concluding concert of the academic year 2016/2017 of the Orchestra Sinfonica del Conservatorio "A. Vivaldi" in the role of principal violin, as well as with the Orchestra da Camera di Lugano (conductor S. Bazzi) and with the Zürcher Kammerphilharmonie (conductor D. Limburg).

 

He graduated in 2016 from the three-year baroque music course of the Accademia di Musica Sacra Antica di San Rocco, held by Marcello Bianchi and Daniela Demicheli.

 

In the 2017/2018 academic year, he attended the violin masterclass at the Pinerolo Academy of Music in the class of Dora Schwarzberg and numerous other masterclasses held by internationally renowned musicians (U. Hoelscher, M. Rizzi, M. C. Carlini, D. Alogna).

 

From 2020, he has attended the monographic masterclass "Omaggio a Mauricio Kagel" in Milan held by Maria Grazia Bellocchio and the Divertimento Ensemble, performing in trio formation with piano in Milan (Museo del Novecento) and Bologna (Oratorio di San Filippo Neri).

 

In 2021 he completed the Master of Arts in Music Performance at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana for the two-year course with Maestro Alessandro Moccia and in 2022 the Certificate of Advanced Studies (CAS) in Orchestral Studies, also at the Conservatorio della Svizzera Italiana.
