I was born in Rome and, before starting my carreer in advertising,
I lived in Italy, Somalia, Argentina, Spain, Belgium and I got a Master Degree in Economics.
In 1999 I started working as a copywriter at Bozell Brussels,
I then moved to Tonic Rome and finally joined McCann Erickson where I built a strong international experience.
I'm currently Chief Creative Officer @ McCann Worldgroup Italy
guiding all the agencies of the group, McCann, MRM, Momentum and McCann Live in the offices of Milan and Rome.
I've created national and global campaigns for Opel, MasterCard, Honda, Toyota, Chrysler-Jeep,
The FAO, Poste Italiane, Iberdrola, Alitalia, Rai TV, Brembo, Mutti, Fiorucci food, Unipol, BCC Bank, Enav, Coop.
With recognitions in national and international festivals, including Cannes Lions, Eurobest, Epica,
NY Festivals, I've served as a jury member at festivals like ADCI, ADCE, NY Festivals, London Brand Film Festival, ECHO, Mobius and many more.
There'd be more (like children, wife & dog)but this short bio stops with the music activity that brings me in places likethis, this and that.
