After completing his university studies at the Faculty ofArchitecture in Florence in 1979, he studied violinmaking under the guidance of the masters Roberto Ignesti e Igino Sderci. He builds violins, violas and cellos following the classical style of the eighteenth century Cremonese School using the original model utilized by Carlo Bisiach which come from Igino Sderci's workshop. He uses a red-orange varnish, made with a recipe found in the correspondence between the Bisiach brothers and Igino Sderci during their collaboration between the 1920s and the 1950s.
He has made eighty instruments including violins, violas and cellos, some of which are copies of original baroque instruments. His instruments are played in various orchestras all over the world, as well as by soloists.
