Participated in the Sanremo Festival in 1993 (finished second to last, per the review). L'uomo flessibile was written with Gianluca Martinelli and produced by Beppe Quirici. The review notes he has been involved in theatrical activity and that he wrote a song for Ornella Vanoni and one for Mina (as reported in the review).

The 2006 album L'uomo flessibile is praised for its care for voice, interpretation and poetic, intelligent lyrics. Musical references range from blues and jazz to Italian songwriting and classical hints. Themes include the fragility of modern man, the effects of technology and misinformation, and a nostalgic take on love. The record was produced by Beppe Quirici and co-written with Gianluca Martinelli.

For:Fans of Italian singer-songwriters, theatre-song aficionados, listeners who like poetic lyrics and jazz/blues-tinged arrangements.
