Biografia
Born in Milan, Italy, he graduated as an actor in 1994 from the "Accademia Progetto Anabasi" under Kuniaki Ida. He continued his studies for an additional year, presenting a study on Samuel Beckett's "Krapp's Last Tape." In 1995, he founded the group "Hoopoe - Permanent Laboratory of Theatrical Research," coordinated and directed by Mamadou Dioume, with which he collaborated until 1998. He began working in theater in 1997 with Marco Baliani in the production "Youth Without God" by Ödön von Horváth.
In 1998, he met Renato Carpentieri during a project on Tito Lucrezio Caro's "De Rerum Natura," starting a collaboration with the LiberaScenaEnsemble Company. This collaboration led to the creation of critical adaptations of classics such as "Oedipus in the Forest" by Sophocles (2000) and "Medea" by Christa Wolf (2001), as well as participation in various editions of the "Museum" project, presenting non-theatrical texts like "The Teacher and Margherita" by Mikhail Bulgakov (2000), "The Analogous Mountain" by René Daumal (2000), and "Dedalus" by James Joyce (2002). In 2002, alongside Carpentieri and Amedeo Messina, he co-authored the play "La Sala Dei Corollarii, Homage To Franco Fortini."
Under Carpentieri's direction, he attended the inaugural edition of "Officina DeiMutamenti," a specialization workshop focusing on contemporary dramaturgy. In 2002, he performed in three Harold Pinter plays: "The Hothouse," "The Glass of the Stirrup," and "The Language of the Mountain." He continued exploring and experimenting with works by contemporary authors and playwrights with Pierpaolo Sepe, staging Rainer Werner Fassbinder's "For a Piece of Bread" (2002) and "The American Soldier" (2003), Alberto Bassetti's "Entrate!" (2003), and Christophe Pellet's "Le Garçon Giraffe" (2004).
With Sepe, he also participated in productions featuring works not originally written for theater, including Hans Magnus Enzensberger's "The End of the Titanic" (2003), Giovanni Tesori's "In Your Blood" (2004), and Pier Paolo Pasolini's "The Divine Mimesis" (2005).
In film, he played leading roles in "Tomorrow" (1997), directed by Giulio Ciarambino, earning a Best Actor award at the Festival International du Film d'Amour, and "Mario the Horse" (2000), directed by Sergio Pappalettera. At the 40th Pesaro Festival of New Cinema, he presented "Cascando On The Razor's Edge" (2004), a short film inspired by Samuel Beckett's poem "Cascando," created with Giovanni Paolucci.
