Bluegrass...
Always drawn to country and western sounds, in 1995 I attended a short flatpicking acoustic guitar workshop with Beppe Gambetta in Spilimbergo (PN). He introduced me to the new world of folk, old-time and bluegrass music. From the following year I regularly attended acoustic music workshops with Beppe Gambetta in Slovenia, as well as in Hustopeče in the Czech Republic and Virton in Belgium. There I deepened my understanding of these styles and began studying new instruments such as the Irish mandolin and banjo. At the 1996 workshop in Ambroz, Slovenia, I met Roberto Dalla Vecchia. A strong friendship grew and continues to this day, and from the first edition in 2005 I had the opportunity to work as his assistant at the Roberto Dalla Vecchia Acoustic Guitar Workshop in Recoaro Mille (VI).
