Born 1984 · Rieti, Italy

I have been working for 16 years as a Director, Author and Producer of films, docu, web series, music videos, commercials, reports, live events and theatrical performances. With the Swing Circus crew, I organized for two years the New Year's Eve at the Imperial Forums in Rome (Rome Sweet Home 2014, Swing Circus Vintage Party 2015). My first web series, "The Chamberlain", was voted Best Italian Series of 2016. In 2017 Raoul Bova produced my first documentary, "Wakeboard - Acrobatic Lives". In 2018 my theatrical debut "Goodbye Totti" sold out at the Parioli Theater in Rome. In 2020, during the lockdown, I shot entirely in streaming the web serie "L'amore ha i tempi del virus", distributed by La Repubblica. My debut feature, "Nel Bagno Delle Donne", co-produced by Rai Cinema and distributed by Istituto Luce - Cinecittà, is released on December 3, 2020 exclusively on www.MioCinema.it, a platform of Lucky Red and Circuito Cinema. From April 2021 to September 2022 it was available on Sky Cinema and Sky On Demand. On September 12, 2022, the film was broadcast in prime time on Rai 5, since then it has been available on the RaiPlay platform. In 2022 I wrote for Sabrina Iannucci's direction the documentary "Beyond Time, Love", produced by Indiana Production Spa, featuring physicist Carlo Rovelli and director Liliana Cavani. The film premiered at the Festival dei Popoli 2024. My second feature, "Amici Comuni", was awarded the second-highest ranked funding at the MIC's call for selective grants in December 2022, and will be produced for Italy by 102 Distribution. It is scheduled to shoot in 2025. Among others, I have collaborated with: Indiana Production Spa, Casta Diva Group, Gabriele Salvatores, Liliana Cavani, Carlo Rovelli, Michele Placido, Sergio Castellitto, Mark Ronson, Timur Bekmambetov, Ricky Tognazzi, Erri De Luca, Fiorello, Bebe Vio, Alessandro Borghi, Missoni, Fondazione Cinema per Roma, Rolling Stone Italia, Adnkronos.
