ABOUT ME
I’m an Italian composer and multimedia artist living and working in the Netherlands.
My work often blends classical musicians with video, theatre, and electronics to create experiences where sound, image, and performance interact organically.
I strongly believe in the idea of making contemporary music more accessible, without compromising on research and experimentation, by seeking new ways to engage audiences.
HIGHLIGHTS
2025 is an intense artistic year for me. I’ve been selected for the “ULYSSES Journey” composer's status, where I'll write a new piece for choir and electronics for the Latvian Radio Choir (Riga, LV). I’ll take part in the Darmstädter Ferienkurse (Darmstadt, DE) for an orchestral composition workshop, and join several artist residencies and international masterclasses: Sävellyspaja (Avanti! Summer Sounds Festival, Finland), precept.concept.percept (.abeceda Contemporary Music Festival, Slovenia), Olde Skool (Musiikin aika Festival, Finland), Dag van de Componist (DoelenEnsemble, NL), Narrazioni Parallele (TRT orchestra, Narrazioni Contemporaneità Festival, Italy), the International composition masterclass held by Carola Bauckholt (MotoContrario ensemble, Festival Contrasti, Italy), and lastly the MIXTUR composition and sound experimentation workshop (Barcelona, Spain).
In February 2025, I graduated, debuting my opera-film: This is not my U******E, a work for sinfonietta, electronics, and film that fully represents my interdisciplinary approach. The same year, I wrote Brif, bruf, braf, a piece for vocal ensemble, harp and bass flute, commissioned by Papagena vocal ensemble.
In 2024, I was awarded a Gaudeamus Festival commission prize for pianist Zubin Kanga (TivoliVredenburg, NL), and composed Goldilocks in Amsterdam, a one-act operetta for the Opera Forward Festival (Dutch National Opera & Ballet, NL).
The same year, I was selected for the Stanislas College Orchestra and Choir Commission prize (Delft, NL).
My earlier works include the premiere of my first multimedia opera, Promenade over the Universe (Batavierhuis, NL), the music for the circus show Life² (Maaspodium, NL), the self-produced interdisciplinary performance SO Rude, SO Fragile, and electronic compositions, such as Comp(up-down)uting, SOME.UNIVERSE.SONG, and Weird Fishes. I also premiered new pieces at festivals and venues including Cinema City Festival (Palermo, IT), Auditorium Parco della Musica (Rome, IT), M9 Museo del '900 (Venezia, IT), Teatro Caio Melisso (Spoleto, IT), Digital Record (Rome, IT)
EDUCATION
My education reflects my broad musical interests, from classical to film and video game music. I earned an M.Mus in Classical Composition from Codarts University (2025) under Robin de Raaff, after studying film music with Paul M. van Brugge. Earlier, I completed a one-year master’s in film and game music at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome (2022) and a B.Mus in Composition and Counterpoint with Marco Betta in Palermo (2018–2021)
