Driven by a strong passion for cinema, in 2006 he debuted as a director of independent short films, winning numerous awards both in Italy and abroad; in particular with "Un passo più lungo" (2006) he won the Sony Short Festival and with "27 minutes of purity" (2009) he received the first important acknowledgments from critics. In 2012 he moved on to documentary films and starts experimenting with the language, without ever repeating himself and searching for the perfect hybrid with fictional cinema: "Tommaso" (2012), his debut docudrama, is distributed on Sky and Amazon Prime US; with his subsequent films, he obtained distributions with important publishers like Repubblica, La Stampa, Gazzetta dello Sport. "In the trenches" (2016), about the Great War, "Italia 70" (2018), on the so-called "years of lead", and "Wall of Chaos", about the Berlin wall and the GDR, in post-production, comprise his trilogy on contemporary history.
Since 2016 he is a member of AIR3, the Italian Directors Association.
