Como e i suoi gemelli

Backgrounds I did for "Como e i suoi gemelli", an animated short sponsored by the Town Hall of Como, based on a story written by the students of the junior high school "Guglielmo Marconi" of Albate.

"4 Righe" - Miriade

Those are images of a video I did for dear friends of mine: Alessandra Congiu, Stefano Farci and Renato Pinna the autors of the song "4 Righe".Their group is called MIRIADE.
It was a real pleasure to talk about music and many other things with them in front of a plate of pasta al sugo di salsiccia and red wine. You can see the video here

It's time to announce the great initiative that started with Dice Tsusumi, Enrico Casarosa , Ronnie del Carmen and Yukino Pang. I'm honored to have been part of the large group of artists involved in it. If you want to know more about this event take a look at http://www.totoroforestproject.org/

Ciro - video

I finally put on YouTube the intro of an animated series that doesn't exist. Unfortunately many many frames are missed because of the compression. I wrote the lyric and the music and I really enjoy playing it (except the drum). A super special thanks to Stefano Farci, Alessandra Congiu the singer, and Gabriele Farci (2 years old) the special guest for the chorus. You can see the short clip here
