BIO
Director, playwright, actor, and producer, active in theatre since adolescence, with a career marked by continuity, breadth of repertoire, and a steady presence in major Italian venues.
​
His work as a director spans numerous national tours and collaborations with leading performers and artists. Among his productions: “Brokeback Mountain” with Malika Ayane, Edoardo Purgatori, and Filippo Contri; “1984” by George Orwell (Icke–Macmillan adaptation) with Violante Placido, Ninni Bruschetta, and Woody Neri; “The Two Popes” by Anthony McCarten with Giorgio Colangeli and Mariano Rigillo — a production that earned him the Franco Enriquez Award for Best Director. Further credits include “Elena, la matta” with Paola Minaccioni (Campania Teatro Festival 2024), “Volevo essere Marlon Brando” starring Alessandro Haber (for which he also wrote the dramaturgy), “A Mirror” by Sam Holcroft with Ninni Bruschetta and Claudio Gregori, “Persone naturali e strafottenti” by Patroni Griffi (in which he also performs as Mariacallàs alongside Marisa Laurito), “L’uomo, la bestia e la virtù” by Pirandello with Giorgio Colangeli, “Il silenzio in cima al mondo” with Pamela Villoresi, “700 – Music and Words for Dante” with Giorgio Colangeli and La Scala’s first violin, Laura Marzadori, for the Pergolesi Spontini Festival, and “La Bohème” by Giacomo Puccini. In 2017 he was selected for the Fantasio International Directing Prize.
​
As a playwright, he is the author of the Contemporary Trilogy — #salvobuonfine, Festa della Repubblica, Kensington Gardens — published in the “Le Nebulose – Teatro” series. His works have been recognised by major playwriting awards, including the DO.IT Prize, the Oltreparola Award, and the Hystrio Playwriting Prize.
Kensington Gardens was later staged in English at London’s Deli Theatre. In 2017 he premiered Torre Elettra — a contemporary reimagining of the Oresteia — at Teatro Brancaccino, a finalist for the Hystrio Prize.
​
Alongside directing and writing, he has developed significant experience in theatre management and production. Since 2015 he has served as Artistic Director and founder of Altra Scena, a company that now produces over 200 performances per year throughout Italy, recognised and supported by the Italian Ministry of Culture as a national theatre-producing organisation. He contributed to the revitalisation of Teatro Parioli as General Director (2018–2021) and currently oversees the Villa Hermosa Festival and the season of Teatro Metropolitan in Piombino, in collaboration with Fondazione Toscana Spettacolo.
​
As an actor, he has worked under the direction of Filippo Gili, Federico Magnano San Lio, Giuseppe Dipasquale, Roberto Burgio, Guglielmo Ferro, Gisella Calì, and others. He starred in “Waiting for Godot” and “Endgame” with Giorgio Colangeli, Francesco Montanari, and Paolo Briguglia, alongside numerous productions across drama and musical theatre. He trained in Musical Theatre at the Musical Theatre Academy, continued at Stage Entertainment Germany, and completed his acting studies at Scuola Teatro Azione in Rome. A Law graduate, he explored the relationship between jurisprudence and theatre in a thesis on English drama from the Tudor to the Stuart period.
