After graduating in Methodology and Criticism of the Performing Arts at La Sapienza University of Rome, he attended the Odin Teatret by Eugenio Barba and graduated with a degree in stage direction from the Accademia Nazionale di Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico|National Academy of Dramatic Art of Italy.
