Guitars

I’m the oldest man in the band and you will recognize me on stage as my face is hidden by a bush of hair most of the time. Not to mention the fact that I play one meter below all the others 😀
I was born in Torino one million years ago and I’ve been playing guitar since the age of dinosaurs (with questionable results some would say). Through past years I played with some bands of Torino metal underground scene: Overdrive, T-Power e Fearytales. I have been also part of Unforced death metal band for 2 years now.
Music is my passion obviously, especially if it is live, therefore as soon as I can I show up at “pro” bands events and most of all at venues in Torino to enjoy gigs from local underground bands.
I’ve started to work with TMA (Turin Metal Association) 2 years ago. TMA operates to develop heavy metal music and provides support to local bands by organizing shows, promoting events and encouraging gig exchange. All free of charge, all for music.
As most of us (unfortunately nowadays this is not so obvious) I have a work as an engineer to earn a living and support my music. It’s almost unbelievable that every day I work to build satellites!! Yes indeed, those things that fly high in the sky and you hear stories about on TV news. In fact I’m just part of a much bigger work and perform a small part of it but as it sounds important saying that I contribute to success of space exploration let’s not focus on details.
Hail to you metal friends with one last word: support music, participate to live shows and buy music…
Dark Passage’s one obviously!!
