The day I first heard Bach's Passacaglia was the day I decided I would be an organist.

The centre of my musical world is Johann Sebastian Bach. His work is a magnificent universe and one still in part unknown: Giancarlo Bizzi's books tell us of the complex mathematical structures, symbolical systems and cosmological references hidden in his music.

I’m proud to have been a student of Fernando Germani's, and to preserve and transmit his legacy.

I can't live without Beethoven and I can't live without my piano.

Aside from Fernando Germani, my beloved Maestro, the stars that light up my way are: Edwin Fischer and his Well-tempered Clavier and Wilhelm Backhaus and his Beethoven Piano Sonatas.

I love Orhan Pamuk, my favourite novelist. Nor would I be myself without Carl Gustav Jung.

My duty as a musician is to communicate what music is for me and my world.
