Sono un collezionista di immagini
e mi piace conservare le istantanee più significative di questo viaggio.
Fotografo con gli occhi e con le parole,
con una chitarra o con una macchina fotografica.
Fotografo emozioni e attimi che non tornano
e poi li affido alla musica e al vento.
Scrivo canzoni e spesso le ho cantate dal vivo.
Di alcune esistono dei demo ma per ora non ne ho incisa nessuna
in forma definitiva o su disco e, in fondo, va bene così.
Il loro scopo ultimo non è finire su un CD ma nel cuore di chi le ascolta.
"When you make rock ’n roll, the more you think the more you stink.
It’s THIS attitude". David Briggs, storico produttore di Neil Young, fece una pausa
mostrando il medio a Jimmy McDonough, che lo stava intervistando nel 1991.
"Rock ’n roll is not sedate. It’s not safe. It has nothing to do with money.
Rock ’n roll is elemental - it’s like wind, rain, fire. Rock ’n roll is fire, fire!
It has to do with how much you can thumb your nose at the world."

FL bio in English and in italiano .
Two of my songs have been selected by Neil Young for his official website. Echoes of War is an old acoustic demo which reached 2 in February 2007 and Watching the Show , is an electric tribute to the sound of Neil Young & Crazy Horse. Click on the titles and listen to these songs!
Currently working on a couple of recording projects: a mini-CD with some of my Italian songs and a full-length album, a self-produced folly which will feature a collection of some of the many songs I have written in English. Audio previews will be here when the record is finished.
Songs in rotation here are just rough cuts & raw recordings coming from different
sessions and different years.
Here’s a couple of clips from a gig I played in Hungary in 2005 with Daniele Cialente on drums, Giorgio de Caroli on bass and Gianluca Galletti on lead guitar. Tre and Fai Che Sia Così .
