Profession : artisan and musician.

Hobbies: everything that comes in mind: from gardening to photography. I’m sportive, love running and walking up on high mountains, but my great passions are diving and playing guitar.

Dreams and wishes to come true: Living of music.

Dreams and wishes that came true: having a band like this one and recording our own music (done already three..)

Dreams and wishes which won’t come true : play music with B.B. king

Music path: I started playing guitar at 13 – 14 years old as a autodidact. My first guitar was an Eko bought in annual instalment. I’ve played for years without asking me music notes exist, ma soon I felt it was necessary to study a nit of music and always as a autodidact I learn the main things. In 1986 more or less I started paying in a band with my brother Valter and the two brothers Urbica; we were called the PSYCHO. Today, this band exists ma this time wonderful as ever with Elisa. This time, though, the project is serious and it’s called RARA AVIS. Now, I’m practising guitar with Marco Ghiringhello, in all it’s various shape. Classic guitar and acoustic guitar are my favourite, but naturally I appreciate the power and the colour of an electric guitar. .it depends of the period and the way I feel.

Music taste: Blues, rock, pop…every kind of music. The important thing is that the songs have a good melody.

First record disk bought: Made in Japan Deep Purple.

Last record disk bought: Rem the greatest hits. I’ll add the one before the last tto: Eric Clapton Unplugged.

Artist references: Clapton, B.B. King, Gilmour, Blackmore.

Instrument engineer: I have a Fender “Flame” 85 bought in 1986, a guitar never produced by FENDER. I also have an acoustic guitar LAKEWOOD which I play with little homemade reverb and does not need great effects. I also have an acoustic guitar Ibanez “performance” with a very British sound. I couldn’t end up not saying I have a PRS “green Custom”. As my amplifier got an old Marshall valve 50 watt. and a POD line 6.

Advice to give: play, play, play and keep playing having fun and having emtoione I what you do, in order to give emotions to those who listen. To all the bands: Play, play and play music where ever…
