Photos from a Stormy Set

In spite of the many (technical) difficulties we had on the set of L'anno del temporale (The Year of the Storm), what comes out from the photos downhere is fun. And a relaxed - though phisically limited - environment.
Many thanks to photographer Stefano Druetta, who once again documented the work our amazing crew did on set.
These images are from the first day of shooting, when we got most of the footage from the band.

L'Anno del Temporale - Storyboards (partially) revealed

Here thee are a few drawings from the storyboards of my last music video.
I already spoke about it a few times, and I thought it's now time to reveal a bit of it.



Considering the song is about a youthful love story described as a storm, I decided to keep the typical elements of a storm as characters.



All I can add is that there is a tiny theatre, the band (La Bottega di Musica e Parole, Warner Chappell)is occupying its backstage and there's also a small group of valiant theatre workers. And yes, there is the love story too, as the song requires...

Wired Magazine!

Something very cool just happened and it's fresh news: the May issue of the Italian version of Wired Magazine published a full page article about me, calling me the "Next Big Thing". I can only say: "Wow!"... And also thanks to journalist Marco Rossari for such a nice review of myself and my work (both past, current and future projects) and to photographer Giovanni Troilo, who made an amazing job (as you can see below)!

Some good news mixed with recent memories

I can now say the music video for the band La Bottega di Musica e Parole is coming out. Finally!
I still don't know the exact date, but the band will present it officially around mid-May.
The video was shot right before Christmas break inside a tiny theatre, while outside an authentic snow storm was taking place. The song to the music video is actually titled "L'anno del temporale" ( The Year of the Storm, in English), but it's more of a late summer-autumnish kind of storm it tells about. So nothing of the pandemonium happening outside could end up being used in and for the video.
We had some sort of trouble getting out of there though: snow and freeze had made the stairs so slippery that moving outside the set at the end of the day became a real journey back home...

"Devil's Hand" music video finally out!
