About Me

born and raised in Italy, first in padova, foggy small town close to venice, then moved to pisa, small as well but with a leaning tower. studied aerospace engineering for enough time, wasn't brilliant, but did it till the end. aged 25 went to a music school to study classical guitar and discovered a doublebass. mingus was constantly in my ears at that time so...choice was made. got my diploma and moved to belgium, studied one year in the hague, got kicked out, studied in brussels, got sick of schools...on my own for now, a new bass, digging the bands and the musicians i'm playing with...
