About

I’m a musician who specializes in composition for visual media and theatre, from Brescia, Italy.
I hold a BA in Applied Music for Visual Media and Theatre from the Civica Scuola di Musica Claudio Abbado in Milan, and I was commissioned as composer for the theatre production “Ricordare il futuro” at Teatro Elfo Puccini, writing the original music for the act “Chiave inglese”. I have taught piano and music theory privately for six years, which means I am used to explaining and notating music precisely rather than only playing it.
What sets me apart from most composers here is the other half of my work: for the past two years I have annotated and evaluated AI model outputs against detailed quality guidelines, including audio tasks. I work comfortably at the point where music meets AI training data: transcription, MIDI annotation, note-level accuracy and guideline-driven review.
I write in Italian and English, and my academic work includes analytical essays on film scoring and a study on music-video synchronisation.
