I've been called an 'eclectic person', but  my cultural background is only apparently eclectic.
I've tried to master the theories of knowledge through a theoretical and epistemological approach which involves  both my philosophical studies at Università degli Studi in Milan and  my continuous reading of  History of Philosophy books. I've always been particularly attracted by the research on perceptive phenomena.

At the same time I've always studied music - both at theoretical level and through etno-musicological research.
All my interests have naturally blended and are at the roots of my musical activity.
In 1975 I was involved in a deep study into the musical heritage of Benin and worked at the soundtrack for a  RAI 2 documentary programme in 5 episodes, called 'Mal d'Africa'.

I've also played for two years in an experimental group with Luca Francesconi, Ludovico Einaudi, Paolo Della Porta and Riccardo Luppi, as well as  many other  musicians.
We  gave a lot of concerts together and in the meantime I got in touch with the activity of cultural promotion. The great vitality of that world in that peculiar period paved the way to my choice of working mainly for the organization of high quality concerts and events.

In 1978 I started to gain experience in the international context and since then I've worked with the best-known jazzmen in the world. With some of these artists I've also managed to establish personal ties which are  far beyond our professional relationships.
I can honestly say that today I'm one of the most appreciated producers in Italy, as far as my field is concerned.
My job consists  in organizing  both tours and personal events (projects/activities).
I've actually got hundreds of concerts and scores of tours on the credit side.
Since 1985 I've also been Pat Metheny's promoter and his Italian manager: for him I've seen to  all the activities concerning his concerts and promotion in our Country.

In 1988 I  created  'Jazzman' of which I'm still the art director.
I've initiated several festivals in Milan and continually work for other festivals in Italy.
