Among his recent projects, his series of compositions for cello solo, titled The Traveler’s Diary (originally Breviario per Nomadi), has been used as background music for various shows by the Italian national broadcasting company RAI, as well as a few films. Cello Drive, his first solo album as a cellist and composer, was released by the UK label North2North.
