    • General trivia

  • It's worth mentioning his international collaborations as a guest musician, metal and otherwise, where he still offers a touch of his sharp and flawless performances, well-known to hardcore fans of the band Rhapsody of Fire.
  • In 2009 he recorded an AOR / Classic rock album with other international rock and pop artists [1] such as:

    • - James Christian (Singer of House Of Lords) - Kee Marcello ( guitarist of Europe And K2) - Doogie White (Former Rainbow and Yngwie Malmsteen vocalist) - James Thompson (Saxophonist, known for his collaborations with Joe Cocker and big Italian blues artist "Sugar" Zucchero Fornaciari)

    - On this album, Alessandro composed some original compositions, although a strong reminiscence of Rhapsody-times can be heard. He plays the songs in a very unusual and technical way.

  • Lotta states on his website that he developed the basis of an unusual technique on bass, although there is no video evidence of this, just mp3-clips. The technique appears to be somewhere between "slap" and "sweep-picking" (a very fast arpeggio style of guitar playing).
  • As of November 2008, he does not appear to affiliated with any particular band.
