He has taken part in numerous tours in Italy and abroad, with such Renaissance and Baroque dance ensembles as Il Gruppo di Danza Rinascimentale, La Cortesia del Ballo, and La Follia.
He has often been on programmes for Telemontecarlo and RAI DUE, while teaching at Rome’s Teatro dell’Opera school and in Catania at Balletto di Sicilia. He has a long standing collaboration with the ‘Il Teatro della Memoria’ association.
