Biography
He attended Collegio San Luigi in Bologna, where he obtained a scientific high school degree.
He later graduated in Communication & Marketing in June 2006 at L.UN.A. (Libera Universita' delle Arti), after a 3-year course. At that point he was asked to join the university's research team: C.R.L. (Centro Ricerche Luna). He started working on all the projects they were involved in, as the "Portale Moda Italiano", in collaboration with Comune di Milano and Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana (in English: "The National Chamber for Italian Fashion"), an association which co-ordinates and promotes the development of Italian fashion and is responsible for hosting the fashion events and shows of Milan Fashion Week (in Italian: "Settimana della Moda"), the famous fashion week held every six months in Milan.
The Portale Moda Italiano ("Portal for Italian Fashion") is a project that aims to recover the cultural heritage of Italian fashion. Built on digital databases, digitized magazines and collections coming from both private and public museums, the Portal has already made 10 million documents, 1500 sources and 5000 archives available. The Portal is divided into three different sections: the "Historical Network" (with sources and documents), a "Real Time Network" (containing all the lists of contemporary fashion professionals) and a "Trend Network" (that makes the analysis of the international trends found on the web possible).
In September 2007, in order to focus on his directing career, he decided to move to New York City, where he attended a 2 year filmmaking course at New York Film Academy.

Collaborations
For Tony Snake, he wrote, directed and edited the commercial "Avoid the Chainsaw", using an old animation stand and the technique of photoanimation, combined with modern digital software.
He later used photoanimation, combined with the anaglyph technique, when he collaborated with Culture Prophet on the project "Culture Prophet – Hustler", that he wrote, directed and edited. The project was shot in Nevada in the Las Vegas Valley and the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area.
He finally worked with Daryl Xavier Stone and Francesco Frankstarr Parlatore, on the project "Rod Stone & Frankstarr: I'm a Tigör", that he wrote, directed, animated and edited.
Academy's years
While student at the New York Film Academy, he shot an unofficial music video for Mr. Oizo's track "Positif", as one of the projects in the 2-year course. A-Trak (born Alain Macklovitc), Kanye West's dj, published an article on his blog about it believing was the official work of his good friend Quentin Dupieux a.k.a. Mr. Oizo. Quentin Dupieux himself had to comment on the video indicating how he was not, in fact, the author of the clip.
An unofficial "horror" music video about vegetables' tortures that he wrote, directed, edited and acted in, for The Bloody Beetroots, while still in film school, has now over 800,000 views on YouTube. The project was shot on Kodak Plus-X film, with an old Arriflex camera made in Western Germany during the 1950s.
Collaborators
His most important collaborators are with the photographer Don Gerardo Frasco and the assistant director Gaia Baldini.
Present time
In November 2010 he started working with Gala (born Gala Rizzatto), an Italian pop singer-songwriter.
He edited the first feature film by the fashion and arts photographer Diana Scheunemann, "Love American Skin".
