Publications

In 2006 the CD 'La Natività' was come out, an oratory for solos, choir and orchestra, recorded with the Choral 'G. Puccini” of Grosseto and the choir of Voici Bianche of the Middle School “Leonardo da Vinci” of Grosseto.

 

In 2016 the CD 'Mediterraea - Guitar Works', recorded and produced by SAM recording studio (Lari, Pisa) and Live Art (Follonica, Grosseto), was released, under the skilful care of Mirco Mencacci. This CD combines the author's undoubted technical capabilities with a deep sensitivity, giving life to romantic sounds that are declined in typically Mediterranean accents, which reveal the vibrant spirit of the author, sounds made even more alive and emphasised by the taste and maturity of language of the performers.
