Biography

Born in Umbertide and raised in Bastia Umbra, Italy, he later on moved to Rome, where he lives.[1] After studying acting in Perugia (at Centro Teatrale Universitario), Rome (at La maschera in soffitta and with acting coaches Gisella Burinato and Ivana Chubbuck), Milan (with actor Filippo Timi) and London (at Guildhall School of Music and Drama),[2] he made his television debut at age 21, in 2008, with two small roles in La scelta di Laura, directed by Alessandro Piva, and Amiche mie, directed by Paolo Genovese and Luca Miniero.[3] He then went on appearing in many successful TV series, such as Don Matteo, directed by Giulio Base,[4] and Inspector Rex, directed by Marco Serafini.[5] In 2013, he has a leading role in the very popular TV miniseries Pupetta – Il coraggio e la passione, directed by Luciano Odorisio.[6] In 2014 he is part of the main cast of the TV movie Francesco, directed by Liliana Cavani in English for the European market.[7]

He made his big screen debut in 2009 with Meno male che ci sei, directed by Luis Prieto.[8]

In theatre, he has worked with many directors, such as Romeo Castellucci (Natura e origine della mente)[9] and Marco Maltauro (Grumi - memorie del cazzo).[10] In 2015 he starred in the new play written and directed by Luca De Bei, Nessuno muore [11] and was part of the main cast of Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny,[12] directed by Graham Vick at the Rome Opera House.

In 2010 he started his activity as a playwright by writing three short plays (Vivo, Le mie muse and Violetta – the latter is included in the book La mia poetica, published by Editoria&Spettacolo in 2012[13]), and a play (In mezzo al core).

He obtained a degree in Medicine with a thesis in psychiatry, but he never practiced as a medician.[14]
