Biography

edit

Born in Rome and raised on the Lazio coast, his passion for art showed early on during his school years when he presented a thesis on the history of theater for his high school graduation. In 1991, he founded the theater company "Il Canovaccio", in 1998 the theater company "Atto II", and in 2005 the cultural association "Fare Teatro", staging numerous productions as an actor and directing some himself. In addition to his own scripts, he presented works by authors such as Eduardo De Filippo, Peppino De Filippo, Dario Fo, Samy Fayad, Carlo Goldoni, and Aldo De Benedetti. The show "Varietà per varie età", which traces fifty years of Italian comedy, won the Best Show Award at the "Trastestorie" Contemporary Drama Competition at the Teatro Trastevere in Rome in 2014. The original musical "C'era una volta Rugantino", a sequel to the famous Rugantino by Garinei and Giovannini, was made into a film in 2008, included in the ANICA catalog,[1] broadcast on the Romauno satellite TV, and presented on Rai Tre in 2009 during the television show "Cominciamo bene - Prima" hosted by Pino Strabioli. In 2007, he also developed a passion for writing, publishing novels, thrillers, and poetry collections in Italian, English, Spanish and the Romanesco dialect. Over the years, these works have received about many on a national and international level.
