Tommaso's first music love was Beethoven, whose sonatas were played to him by his father at the piano when Tommaso was still a little child. He picked up guitar when he was 14, guided more from sympathy for the instrument than from desire to imitate any particular player. He took some lessons from a local teacher, but remained mostly self-taught for years. After a long on-off relationship with the guitar, while pursuing an academic scientific career, Tommaso found Tom Hess and started taking lessons from him in 2006. With his expert guidance, Tommaso realized that great results were not just dreams anymore.

Among his favorite musician and influences are: Dream Theater, Pink Floyd, Joe Satriani, Andy Timmons, Mike Oldfield, Jean-Michel Jarre, Deine Lakaien, Litfiba, Nightwish, Astor Piazzolla, Hans Zimmer.

Tommaso is currently based in Edmonton, Alberta (Canada) where he is recording his first album and working on an instructional series on fret board visualization.
