After all the words made and written, here is a sequence of more or less recent life photographs, here is a sequence, in a totally random order, of songs written for many great artists, perhaps significant but obviously incomplete: the order and the archiving have never been my strong point, for the great constant pissing off of those who live next to me ... internet in this sense could be of help to those who want to know more ...

The Soundtrack of the animated film “Johan Padan a la descoverta de le Americhe”(2001), based on a play by Dario Fo, produced and directed by Greenmovie and Progetto Immagine.
In the period between 2004 and 2005, there were great moments of fun with the songs of the mouse Geronimo Stilton, literary phenomenon for children, and, subsequently, the Christmas’ songs album of 2004, starring the mouse Geronimo, to the joy of many children.
In 2017 I wrote, with Fabio Perversi, the music for the Musical "Figliol Prodigo", directed by Isa Biffi, at the suggestion and inspiration of Pope Francesco: a project of great social commitment, with the participation of detainees in the prison of Opera.
For me a great lesson in life, for the boys of the prison a great moment of redemption and desire to start again on the right side of the path of life.
I have also collaborated with Greenmovie (1999-2010), with whom, besides the albums with Edel and Dario Fo’s movie, was made music for television and radio commercials.
