Since 1990 he has lived in Florence manifesting his musical talent in various fields.

His soloist performances have won him the appreciation of both public and critics, conquered by his magnificent art (Enrico Gatta - La Nazione - 13 II 1998), his energetic, subtle and generous sound (Barnardino Zappa - Eco di Bergamo - 5 X 1996) his vibrating style, which combines virtuoso effects with tenderness (Paolo Pellegrini – La Nazione – 7 maggio 2003) and his enviable technique, powerful bow touch and lyrical interpretation which aimes at what Liszt used to call exécution transcendente” (Roberto Corsi – Il Corriere di Firenze – 8 maggio 2003).
