He is also a piano teacher, art director and editor for several national magazines and he is co-founder and general manager in the project “Crossroads in Arts, Music and Science” in collaboration with the Italian Institute of Technology and the Cariplo Foundation. The idea of this pioneering project stems from the experience accumulated in the cultural dissemination of scientific approach combined with the desire to create artistic - musical - scientific synergies that can be used as a communication tool. The expression of a universal language that unites these seemingly distant universes allows us to understand and understand what this form of communication is and especially how important this is.

In the educational field, he is the creator and author of “Brain in Blue” and “Voices”, two formats that examine the aspects of sound and music in scientific and sociological fields. The first is a journey into the therapeutic and healing aspects of sound, the extrinsication of binaural tones, the use of frequencies aimed at medical care, the effects of music on the brain, the areas involved and their interactions visualized with magnetic resonance instruments. ”Voices” is instead a journey through the history of musical languages seen from sociological, communication and aggregation points of view. A path in the evolution of an art that has been able to mark and photograph more than any other the various periods of history.

From 2016 to 2017 with “Crossroads in Arts, Music and Science” organized numerous master classes and workshops in Milan (Italy).

In 2016 he participated as speaker at the Talloires Symposium organized by Tufts University (USA) presenting “Music in Science and Medical Cares”.
