About Tuscany Serenade – professional singer & guitarist based in Pistoia, Italy
Music and vibrations are my life as I started playing when I was little and I immediately became friends with rock, blues, jazz, soul and r&b music, but also classical and pop.
I play with many instruments, but my great traveling companion remains my guitar, with which I perform live and teach with a method created and tailored by me.
I studied double bass at the “L.Cherubini” Conservatory in Florence under the guidance of Maestro Luigi Giannoni.
The journey began in 1997, when I performed with my group in a venue of the Underground scene as an opening band.
It was a success and from that day on the groove of music has been imprinted in my life, like the track on vinyl.
I have hundreds of live performances of all types, from private events to the big stages of Festivals.
For your event I spread the right frequencies as every event needs the right music and I am the solution.
My work is based on live acoustic performances and, thanks to the infinite repertoire and great experience, the music chooses me and lives again through my guitar, always creating the perfect balance.
My repertoire consists of Flamenco, Gipsy Flamenco, Rumba, Jazz, Son Cubano, Latin American, blues and more. The cover repertoire offers a revisitation of songs of any musical genre according to the colors of the styles I play, making the show original and fun.

"Wonderful backing music, it goes from bossa-nova rhythms to flamenco with mastery. A sure thing now, wonderful atmosphere it creates!"
"Fantastic evening, he managed to involve the audience and make them have fun."
"With his music and his passion he managed to create the perfect atmosphere we dreamed of, managing with style and joy to satisfy our every request. We recommend him with all our heart!"
"Beautiful evening with Tuscany Serenade, always a guarantee. Music present and engaging, but delicate during dinner. With the guitar he can do any piece and his voice rests on the notes, creating an atmosphere that I have rarely found. Then a girl arrives who he didn't even know, sits next to him and the evening changes again, a new magic until closing."
