the Central Archeological Area in Rome. At the Conservatory "F.
Venezze" in Rovigo (Italy), he is a professor of Information Technology
applied to music and of Sound Engineering. He is the musical and
artistic supervisor "New Art Symphonic Orchestra", both meant to become
a medium to connect the most classical background with today's
techniques of composition, especially in the movie score repertoire. He
would like to put the musical contents in the frame of the highest
formal transcription, without losing the historical references and
making the audience enjoy the emotional message of music. His goal is
to walk an ideal path through time to convey in the present an
invitation to a listening experience which comes from the past and
leads us to the future.
