I'm an italian guitar player: I was born on Jan. 16 1976 and my first guitar was my father's Ibanez Lonestar. I play in several bands of jazz, funk and R&B but I have a special project that has his roots in 2000: in Siena Jazz I enjoy the band of Ida Landsberg , a fantastic singer: after some time (and many concerts) with the band we tried to play in smaller ensamble like trio (with Marco Guidolotti on sax) or duo, 'cause we love the works of Ella Fitzgerald & Joe Pass.
From 2003 I write on AXE, a strictly guitar oriented magazine and from 2005 I (proudly) endors IBANEZ guitars and LINE6 amps: a dream come true!
I play(ed) or recorded with:
Orchestra M° Sal Genovese, Ferruccio Spinetti (Avion Travel), Andy Gravish, Roberto Schiano, Antonello Vannucchi (Chet Baker), Emilio Soana (Orch. Rai), Massimo D'Agostino (Morricone), Mauro Battisti, Maurizio Bozzi, Salvo Mudanò (Rai), Marco Guidolotti (Orch.
