In 1982 he composed the theatrical music for I due gemelli rivali ( George Farquhar : The Twin-Rivals ) and La brocca rotta (Heinrich von Kleist: Der zerbrochne Krug ) for the Teatro Stabile di Genova . In the early 1980s he worked as a program director at RAI . In the following years he composed various works for the Teatro Stabile di Torino (e.g. Le astuzie di Scapino , 1982/83 or Il viaggio incantato , 1983/84) and other Italian theaters. His collaboration with Lucio Ardenzi was of particular importance. Other important directors for whom he composed were Marco Sciaccaluga, Egisto Marcucci, Roberto Guicciardini and Filippo Crivelli. Since the early 1980s he has worked repeatedly for Teatro della Tosse in Genoa.

In 1999 he composed the children's musical Esopo Opera Rock based on a libretto by Stephen Curina, which has since seen several hundred performances both in schools and in opera houses. Also in 1999 he wrote the music for the television film Nanà with Ennio Morricone (director: Alberto Negrin ). Other musicals are Scatenati (Teatro Modena di Genova, 2006), I ragazzi alla Guerra di Troia (Festival di Vignale Danza, 2007), Mitico (Genoa, 2008), Mahagonny (2009), Endurance (2010) and Giulietta e Romeo live 3d (Ferrara, February 2012).

He also wrote the music for three ballets for the dance company of the Teatro Nuovo di Torino.
