Hi internet navigators!
Among the countless personal web sites and the several ones dedicated  to the Radio and music world also my project  has got an  important place.
In 1997 I created my own web site not only “to speak about myself” but also to give visitors the chance to learn something interesting and useful for them.
In fact my website is suitable for the ones who have my same hobbies and are very fond of music: I hope they will find new ideas  or  answers to their questions .

During the last years, while I was a University student , I set up a file of over 48.000 titles of records  both on vinyl or on CD (which are catalogued with a software deliberately  created by Champion Data s.r.l. of Novara including numerous fields for every code).

I can search  all the records by  typing the title, the author, the album, the company, the type (Lp/Cd/7"/12"/single cd), the code, the recording date, the purchase date or place, the cost in lira or in euro, the language of the song, the kind of music and the composers’ name.

My hobby dates back to my childhood. In fact instead of playing football all the time like my school fellows I enjoyed giving a running commentary on the matches they were playing!!!

When I was given my first video camera I even obliged my parents “to watch my news” on TV !!!

During secondary school I preferred reading  music magazines while almost all my friends were interested in sports newspapers....

In 1993 my Uncle Franco gave me a Cb Radio as a Chistmas present: I think it was the most beautiful gift I got in my life!!...I was very excited at the idea of letting  hear my voice or sending messages to someone far away from my bedroom...That gave me the opportunity to meet a lot of  people and with some of them I became a member of a private radio of my town: RADIO 2001!!

On 5^th May 1993 I sat in front of a microphone for the first time ( I still got the recordings of that period....a real  mess!!)...

From then on I started buying records in large quantities and I worked with five different Radio stations  which helped me a lot to improve my skills (you can find more details about this in “DJ world” section)

I got a degree in Economics and also my thesis was about the management in the field of Radio Stations where I analyzed the economic system of some of the most popular  Italian broadcasting stations.
Thanks to the  brilliant  results I got and the experience I gained in the field of private radios I worked 7 years as a music programmer for Mtv Classic  (music channel on SKY) at MTV ITALIA television in the Programming department.

At the moment I have changed my job, but I still play music in radio (Radio Azzurra+Radio City) and dj sets.

In 1996 I decided to use my collection of records to make money so I tried to become a DJ.
I was successful and with MY music I started working in Pubs and Discos: My sound makes People dancing, amusing, singing and going back home tired but happy....That’s a great satisfaction because my motto is “Be united with music and give suggestions”!!

Actually I play 2 different kind of Dj Set: the one that I call "Mainstream" (with '80' pop / italo-disco, actual pop and brit rock) as a free-lance  and the one that I call "Alternative" (with darkwave, new-wave, indie-rock). You can find other news about this party, that is called "Alternative Party", here: www.alternativepartynovara.it

What you can find in my web site.....

Besides some photos of myself and of some radio studios you will find a very rich discography , and the database of  some Italian radio stations internet web sites.
The E-mails I receive  weekly And the “visitors” (140/150 daily) show me that there is a great interest in this area. By the way I usually  reply to everybody as soon as possible ....Sorry, I take the occasion to invite you to sign my guestbook. MANY THANKS!!!

Speaking about hobbies you will find a wide section devoted to the world of the radio, articulated in “Radio Fm” and “Cb-Swl”. Please, hold in due considerstion my second web site: FM NOVARA explicitly dedicated to the story of  radiophony of  Novara.
