During the last decade he not only worked for RAI Radiotelevisione Italiana, but also developed a broad range of independent projects and theatrical releases. Recently he moved first to London to work with a VII photographer and a BBC journalist on social reportages and documentaries; then to Los Angeles, where he was invited for an artist residency at the 18th Street Arts Center to work on the documentary series (IN)VISIBLE CITIES; finally went back to Rome for collaborating with the Italian NGO Azione per un Mondo Unito, whose development projects all over the world are the subject of his last documentaries.

(In)visible Cities eventually turned to be the case of study for his PhD in Media and Creative Practice at the University of Sussex.
