He fell in love with the cello at the age of eight, thanks to Maestro Giulia Rossi.

To further his studies, he later moved to Trento to attend the "F.A.

Recently, he also graduated with honors (cum laude) in Chamber Music at the "Arrigo Boito" Conservatory in Parma, studying under Maestro Pierpaolo Maurizzi.
He is the founder of the Quartetto Sirmen and Trio Clinamen. He continues his chamber music specialization with these ensembles at the "Fondazione Accademia Internazionale" in Imola with Maestros Farulli and Zuccarini, and at the "Avos Project International School of Music" in Rome with Maestro Montore.
His orchestral experience is extensive: he was a member of the Orchestra Giovanile della Via Emilia and the Italian Youth Orchestra (OGI). At the invitation of Maestro Carla Delfrate, he also participated in a chamber music project at the Mantua Conservatory. He currently collaborates with several prestigious orchestras, including the Orchestra Senzaspine, the Pavarotti Foundation Orchestra, Maestro Riccardo Muti’s Luigi Cherubini Youth Orchestra, I Musici di Parma, Orchestra Farnesiana, Orchestra Bottesini, and the Macerata University Orchestra.

Born in Parma, he loves mountains and nature, where he constantly encounters positive energy that fuels his daily activities. His education began in a scientific environment and culminated in his studies in civil engineering at the local university.
At the same time, his aptitude for information technology and new technologies led him to pursue a path of in-depth specialization in ICT, web design, computer graphics, and photography.
Ad oggi, professionalmete, svolge attivamente consulenze informatiche, progettazioni grafiche, creazione e sviluppo di siti web per differenti ambiti professionali come consulente free lance sia per aziende sia per professionisti.
Negli ultimi anni congiunge al web design anche la propria passione per la fotografia: un nuovo ambito professionale per offrire una più avvolgente e ricca esperienza nella comunicazione dei contenuti.
Dovendosi descrivere in modo sintetico direbbe: "Ho la fortuna di poter fare ciò che mi piace e appassiona. Coltivare ogni giorno le mie passioni guidate e nutrite dalla curiosità di apprendere, ciò mi porta a farmi domande e da qui ricercare risposte approfondendo ogni tematica incontrata."
Today, he actively provides IT consulting, graphic design, and website creation and development for various professional fields as a freelance consultant for both companies and professionals.
In recent years, he has combined web design with his passion for photography: a new professional field that offers a more immersive and rich experience in content communication.
If he had to describe himself briefly, he would say: "I'm fortunate to be able to do what I like and am passionate about. Cultivating my passions every day, guided and nourished by a curiosity to learn, leads me to ask questions and, from there, seek answers by delving deeper into every topic I encounter."
He approaches the world of theatre through various school workshops and soon decides to commit himself to turning this passion into a profession. He therefore undertakes several training paths, both as an actor and as a director.
A great enthusiast of board games and endowed with a natural curiosity, he also becomes interested in the world of escape rooms, recognizing in them an experience deeply aligned with his personality: being the protagonist of an adventure firsthand, solving a case, carrying out a crucial mission, or uncovering a treasure hidden for centuries.
From the union of these two passions comes his contribution to the Association, for which he organizes, together with his colleague Andrea, authentic immersive adventures. Through the fusion of theatre and escape rooms, engaging moments of play and competition are created, designed for audiences of all ages.
I hold a degree in Philosophy from the University of Parma. I’m specialized in facilitating philosophical practices for children and adolescents and I serve as an expert for the project 'Inventio: Philosophy in Technical and Vocational Education.' In this capacity, I design and lead philosophical dialogue workshops across primary and secondary schools, as well as technical and vocational institutes.
Driven by a strong interest in logic and critical thinking, I collaborate with my colleague Massimo to develop immersive workshops and educational activities for the Association.
I have been a Licensed Tour Guide since 2003.
I am half 'Parmigiana' and half 'Romana'—a blend of my roots, with a mother from Parma and a father from Rome. I began my career as a guide in the Capital while completing my degree in Cultural Heritage Conservation.
This job has always been an extension of my passions. I have curated a Contemporary Art Gallery, supported emerging young artists, and coordinated projects for Street Art festivals. Additionally, I have collaborated on specialized educational programs for Italian schools of all levels.
I have been living in Parma with my family for some time now. My greatest daily satisfaction is passionately sharing the history, art, and rich traditions of the Emilia-Romagna region.
