About Me

Born and raised in the polluted flatlands of Porto Marghera, an industrial city on the mainland of Venice, Italy.
Jazz and improvised music appeared in my life at age 11-12. Picked up the alto saxophone at age 20.
Musical studies and Degrees: '88-'90 Bachelor of Music Degree in Saxophone Performance at the Berklee College of Music, Boston. '93-'95 Master of Music Degree in Saxophone Performance at the Manhattan School of Music, NYC.
Mostly a baritone saxophonist, I own and perform on saxophones from the sopranino to the bass, Eb to contrabass clarinets and piccolo to bass flutes.
I'm the enormously proud father of two great children.
