I was born in Genoa on 12 July1968.
In 1978 he began to study self-taught electric bass and guitar.
In1984 I meet Edmondo Romano (recorder, sax), and we
have composed the first songs.
We join to ClaudioVilla (keyboards),
Cinzia Nucera (voice) and Andrea Cussotti (electric bass).
In that
moment was born ERIS PLUVIA ("You'll become rain") and we decided to
write the lyrics in Latin.
The music was Psichedelic Rock. For a short
period Alessio Menconi (guitar) and Giugi Scotto (drums) play in the
group.
But in 1985 the formation becomes definitive with David Bova
(guitar) and Luca Faggioni (drums).
On May of the same year we make our debut to the Theatre "Verdi" of Genoa Bolzaneto.
Subsequently we have wrote the soundtrack and performed live the
performance "ERIS PLUVIA" of Franca Ghizzardi and Rosario Romano.
On 1986 Edmondo Romano and Claudio Villa left the band.
We, (the five
remained) gave life to a new Jazz Rock band, called VERITAS.
I have composed new songs, some for VERITAS, others for the future jobs.
For example on 4 March 1986 I have composed the song "The silent
river" (that it will become "Sell my feelings" in "Rings of earthly
light").
On september of 1986 the group was divided.
In 1987 I have composed new songs (the first version of "You'll
become rain") and I have started a collaboration with Michela Ferraro (voice).
In 1988 Edmondo Romano, Paolo Raciti
(tastiere) e Alessandro Cavatorti (chitarra) form the HIEROS
LOGOS.
They have composed different songs, one of these is "Vorak" that will be "Glares of mind" in "Rings of earthly
light".
In the same year, me and Edmondo Romano, have
decided to re-start the ERIS PLUVIA project with Michela Ferraro, Paolo
Raciti and Alessandro Cavatorti.
Pratically a fusion between the old ERIS
PLUVIA and the HIEROS LOGOS.
On October I have composed the song "Fighting all against the
storm" (that it will become "In the rising mist" in "Rings of earthly
light").
On November I have composed "Pushing together".
Little time after Michela Ferraro leaves the group. From this moment I was the "new" singer.
We have wrote the soundtrack and performed live the performance "Quasi
trasfigurare" of Franca Ghizzardi and Rosario Romano.
Alessandro Cavatorti leaves the group. In 1989 arrived Marco Forella
(electric bass) and Martino Murtas (drums).
In 1990 we have recorded the first demo tape "Pushing together".
We have played some concerts and we have began the recording of "Rings of
earthly light" (MUSEA 1991)
In 1992 I left ERIS PLUVIA and began to compose new
songs.
In the 1993 Edmondo left the band too and with me have founded "ANCIENT VEIL".
With his brother
Fabio Serri (keyboards) we have recorded the demo tape "Morning after".
In 1994 have wrote the soundtrack and performed live the performance "La
siepe" of Franca Ghizzardi and Rosario Romano.
In 1995 for MELLOW RECORDS the "ANCIENT VEIL" records in "The river of
constant change" a GENESIS tribute,
the song "The lamia" from "The lamb
lies down on Broadway" with the contribution of some members of AVARTA.
In the same year for MELLOW RECORDS we have realized the record "The
Ancient Veil" with Fabio Serri (it has collaborated also to the
arrangements of the songs),
and many musicians (see the page "Discography").
In 1997 for MELLOW RECORDS the "ANCIENT VEIL" have recorded in "Zarathustra's
revenge" a tribute to italian progressive rock of the seventies, the
song
"Gioco di bimba" (LE ORME "Uomo di pezza" 1972).
In the following years, after three years of stop, I restarted to compose many new songs.
I have started to collaborate with three lirycs authors, Massimo Steri e Richard Harris and Max Bet.
In 2007 I have composed many tracks of ambient music for a web site (see the page "Collaborations")
In the same year I have sang in a song of the sountrack, and then in
the CD of the musical "Scooby doo live on stage", with the music
composed by my brother Fabio.
In this moment i'm working to a new demo CD, with four tracks, that
will be an anticipation of the new CD that I hope to do as soon as
possible.
