After a few-years period of teaching as Professor in some Italian Conservatories, his professional activity soon moved to the cultural management. He filled different positions: he was deputy chairman in the Venetian Concert Artists Cooperative; and then he was appointed Chairman of the Artis Cultural Association. After these important experiences he started carrying out his freelance consultancy activity. In order to widen his horizons to a European dimension, in 1994-1995 he attended a master promoted by the Council of Europe and the UNESCO called “European Diploma in Cultural Project Management”. During the master he specialized in subjects such as the European Union regulations for tourism and the “sustainable tourism management”.

From 1996 to 1998 he attended a two-year Course in Economics and Business Administration (CEGA) organized by the Master Department of the “Bocconi” University School of Management in Milan.
