About
Director, DP, Editor, Video Artist, Score Composer.
I am a multidisciplinary filmmaker directing, shooting, and scoring cinema, documentaries, and commercials. In 2002, I founded Postodellefragole, a collective of Italian artists and filmmakers, where I began focusing on the language of independent cinema. Deeply familiar with the language of music, I soon achieved widespread recognition as a music video director, winning Best Video of the Year (PVI 2005), an Antville Music Award (Best Cinema section, 2007), and Best Italian Director (PIVI 2007). My work has also been featured in New York's Inside Fly magazine alongside artists like Ryan McGinness and John Malkovich.
In 2009, I directed the documentary Beautiful Losers, a film exploring the contemporary US art scene, presented at the Triennale di Milano. I also won a Gold Promax World Award for co-directing Italian Souvenir, a short-form commercial series for History Channel. Over the years, I have directed high-profile commercials for global brands including Fendi, Nike, Ducati, Beats, Graff, and Pinko, as well as major television networks such as Fox, History Channel, and National Geographic. Among these, Adele's Dream (2013), a Fashion Film for Fendi co-directed with Giovanni Troilo and produced by Luca Guadagnino, stands as one of my most significant commercial works.
For several years I maintained an intense working relationship with Nike Japan, which brought me to work in Japan directing commercials for Gyakusou, the high-performance running collection born from the collaboration between Nike and designer Jun Takahashi (Undercover).
As a music video director, I have accumulated multiple festival wins and Vimeo Staff Picks, with works selected and awarded from Berlin to Los Angeles. Driver Idle (2025) for C'mon Tigre feat. Perry Maysun, produced using AI tools and Unreal Engine 5, received official selections at three international festivals focused on AI filmmaking.
Original Soundtracks & Scores. As a composer, I create original soundtracks for documentaries, animated shorts, and branded films. My most significant scoring work includes Power of Rome (dir. Giovanni Troilo; Vision Distribution, Universal Pictures, Sky Arte, 2022) and La Voix des Sirènes (dir. Gianluigi Toccafondo; Arte, Miyu, 2024).
I am a founding member and art director of C'mon Tigre (2014–present), an international music and visual arts collective signed to BDC / !K7 Records. Over five albums, the project has built a loyal international following and earned consistent critical recognition, with Rolling Stone Italia describing it as "a wonderful rarity in Italian music." The collective has performed at some of the world's most prestigious festivals, including Roskilde in Denmark. In 2024, under the extended project C'mon Tigre Instrumental Ensemble, the collective released Soundtrack for Imaginary Movie Vol. 1, a score composed for a fictional film co-written with an AI language model, presented in sold-out cinema events where the audience experienced the film exclusively through sound, with no images projected: a rare experiment in listening as cinematic experience.
I am based in Bologna, Italy.
Director's reel
A selection of my work across documentaries, commercials, animation, and music videos. My practice spans visual storytelling and original film score composition, two disciplines that have always informed each other: a background in directing that shapes the way I compose, and a musical sensibility that defines the way I direct.
