His passion for conducting began at a very young age. In 2014, at only 13 years old, he attended a two-year course in Aosta under the guidance of composer and conductor Ferrer Ferran. The course focused on analysis, orchestration, conducting technique, and performance practice, in which he achieved top marks in all areas. He further broadened his studies in composition with Maestro Hans Carl Philipp Lüders and in piano with Maestro Rinaldo Bellucci.

In June 2021, he graduated with honors (110/110 cum laude) in Percussion Instruments from the G. Verdi Conservatory in Turin, where he studied under Maestro Riccardo Balbinutti. In 2019, at just 18 years old, he was admitted to the Italian Conducting Academy led by Maestro Gilberto Serembe, where he earned the three-year diploma in 2022.
