Cecilia Conservatorium, and continued privately, getting his main technical formation in musical composition with maestro David Macculi. Subsequently, he continued his formation with Giacomo Manzoni (Scuola di Musica di FIesole) and following some courses and Master Classes with Franco Donatoni (summer master at Accademia Chigiana di Siena, yearly course at Centro Musica di Modena). Also, he followed a Master Class with Chinary Ung and Harvey Sollberger at the Round Top Festival for Composers in summer of 1999.
