He studied in Italy with Vadim Brodski and Paola Besutti, graduating at the age of eighteen from the G. B. Martini Conservatory in Bologna.
In 2005, he moved to Germany to continue his studies under the guidance of Friedemann Eichhorn (Künstlerisches Diplom and Konzertexamen)
Studies in conducting and piano, respectively with Thomas Briccetti and Gian Claudio Mantovani, completed his musical education.
In 2007, he won the audition for the Hof Symphony Orchestra (Bavaria), where he still holds the position of 1. Konzertmeister.
In this role, he regularly collaborates with soloists such as Christian Zacharias, Albrecht Mayer, Jonas Kaufmann, Baiba Skride, Elina Garanca, etc.
