Subsequently I have accumulated experience in many companies of prose: the first between these that I like to remember is the one made in the company Salvo Randone then move to that of Valeria Moriconi, Mario Scaccia, Arnoldo Foa, Marina Confaloni, Massimo Venturiello and with directors such as F .Tiezzi, M. Sciaccaluga, G. Cobelli, G. Solari. In my career as an electrician place deserves the great experience of ten made at the ROF Pesaro: this was my real gym where I met technicians and artists of the highest quality and where I grew further. "You were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtude and knowledge" (Dante Inf.XXVI) ....... So while I was working I took a degree in Psychology. But a jump much more important in my career when I made in 1997, I was asked to debut as Lighting Designer: brighten, color, define and emphasize atmospheres through light. A difficult art that you never stop to discover and develop: started as a fantastic adventure with the special world of light and in my hands I saw the realization of a dream that I continue to live to this day. Outside of the world of entertainment I increase and apply my knowledge in the art and architecture: from the permanent lighting of the Madonna of the Pellegrini by Caravaggio in 1999, I then lit several exhibitions of various kinds and collaborate actively since 2012 with the Officina delle Zattere in Venice. In the field of architectural pride of a great friendship and a fictitious collaboration with the architect Fulvio Caputo with the study of which "C and C" we have made interesting works. 2015 Alceste CW Gluck directed by by Maestro Pier Luigi Pizzi (Venice) Lighting of the front side of 'Hotel Ca' Sagredo on the Grand Canal (Venice) 2014 Maometto II directed by the Maestro Pier Luigi Pizza Opera of Rome The Ballo in Maschera directed by Maestro Pier Luigi Pizzi (Arena di Verona) Lighting of the Church of the Cappuccini in Rome following the restoration cared for Dr. Giorgio Leone Lighting of the fresco in the church of Santo Stefano by Giovan Battista Canal in Martellago (Venice) 2013 La Gioconda by Ponchielli directed by by Maestro Pier Luigi Pizzi (Rome) Tosca Puccini directed by Maestro Pier Luigi Pizzi (Rome Terme di Caracalla) Cavalleria Rusticana Mascagni directed byof Maestro Pier Luigi Pizzi (Rome Terme di Caracalla) Carlos Kleiber directed by Maestro Pier Luigi Pizzi Spoleto Festival dei 2Mondi Palazzo Mocenigo Between Fashion and Fragrance preparation of Maestro Pier Luigi Pizzi (Venice) Passaggetto Urban VIII restoration by dr.
