Composer, initially a student of Sylvano Bussotti, after various experiences he met Hans Werner Henze, a very important figure for his vocational training.

He composed three theatrical concerts and a theatrical symphony for chorus and orchestra La Battaglia dei Centauri ("The Battle of centaurs"). He has composed over 80 works for ensemble that go from choral to orchestral music, from chamber to electro-acoustic music, from listening to visual theatre.
