At the age of 13 he makes his debut in the role of the Pastorello in "Tosca" at the Opera House in Rome, conducted by Mo. Daniel Oren. On that occasion he meets Maestro Luciano Pavarotti, who congratulates him praising his vocal and expressive talent. He then begins his professional training, improving with the help of Bass Danilo Rigosa, who still continues to work with him as his tutor. In 1996 he wins a scholarship at the 12th “R. and F. Mecenati” International Song Competition, which leads him to debut at just 19 in Rossini's "Petite Messe Solennelle".

Later that year he is in Italy to perform Count of Almaviva in the "Barber of Seville", at Florence Maggio Musicale and at the Verona Philharmonic Theatre.
