Therefore he began to study the baroque cello and achieved a superior degree with the highest grade and honorable mention, under the supervision of Andrea Fossà.


His meeting with two of the greatest personalities in the international music context, the cellist Christophe Coin and the orchestra leader Antonio Florio, gave him the chance to specialize in the execution of renowned baroque music.
