Who I am ... and what I have done            

the beginnings

After having attended my first workshops and shows as a young man in my Forlì, I met the Argentinian company Teatro Nucleo; it was 1997 and I worked with them as a student actor in Europe, Argentina and Korea. At the Nucleus you learned everything: from selling shows to driving trucks, from the Stanislawski method to welding scenography with a Mexican sculptor who loved Italian wine.

At the same time I encountered street theater which made me a stilt walker, acrobat, juggler, fakir, fire eater and accordionist! How many festivals, re-enactments and nights in the car throughout Italy!

how to make a company

I suggested to my brother that he join the Sardinian parade in 2003. At the end of 2006 we understood that it was time to deal only with vertical and aerial shows: we founded Eventi Verticali.

I am the president of the association and with Andrea the artistic director, director of the shows, performer, rigger,... we produce vertical theater shows on buildings, towers, dams, screens (with video projections) until we even manage to learn how to build some flying stages with the help of the great Forlivese engineer Franco Faggiotto: these are aerial structures made up of aluminum trusses and sheets, hung from large cranes! The Quadro and Cubo shows are born... then I fall in love with everything that is inflatable and we hang a giant transparent ball with the performers anchored inside and outside.

The shows tour the most important festivals in the world, in more than thirty states from Taiwan to Turkey,from

United States to China, from Canada to Korea, Russia and most European countries. We create events, ad hoc projects and artistic direction for Audi, BMW, Iren, ABenergie on the "Campanone" in Bergamo, Enel on Palazzo della Signoria in Florence, CAI on the Ridracoli dam and we direct the Musicarte Festival for some years

the turning point

...and in short. You couldn't go higher than that... so I needed to go deeper.

At the end of 2022 I left the company in the hands of Andrea to undertake a personal artistic journey that pursues theatrical communication from which its own poetic form arises.

I am oriented towards seeking collaborations and stimulating interdisciplinary networks.

to share

I feel a strong need to delve deeper into the training field by testing myself as a pedagogue to share my knowledge and experience.

I like to introduce vertical dance to even those who have never imagined themselves as flying acrobat! And I can do it thanks to the meeting with BeFit in Ravenna; in the 1220 m2 gym, 15m high, in addition to teaching, I also set up resident shows where, in collaboration with the staff, I connect the skills of competitive rhythmic gymnastics with the experience in the disciplines of contemporary circus.
