Since his childhood Claudio has always
been interested in music playing,
particularly for drums and percussions.
Claudio grew up listening to the "big
names" of Italian music (Mingardi,
Morandi, De Gregori, Vasco Rossi,
Battisti….), but also David Bowie,
Beatles, Bee Gees, Elton John, Barry
White…. basically all of his father’s
favourite music! Influenced by his
cousin, during his teen-age years,
Claudio discovered hard-rock music,
listening to bands such as Led Zeppelin,
Deep Purple and also the more
"rock-trendy" bands of the 90s:
Metallica, Iron Maiden, Guns n' Roses,
AC/DC, Aerosmith. At the age of sixteen
Claudio joined the citizen's band of the
town in order to learn some music
rudiments. Considering his commitment to
learn more about music he quits the
citizen's band and joined a (serious)
music school where, thanks to the
experience of his teacher (Lele
Barbieri), he learned the basics of drum
playing. For three years Claudio had
drum lessons, learning to play very
different music styles such as: fusion,
jazz and funk. For a couple of years
Claudio played together with some other
friends in a cover band. Meantime
Claudio got in touch with a fellow
citizen named Sergio, who influenced him
with ambient and electronic music
(Massive Attack, Depeche Mode,
Portishead…). After some time he became
a member of his project Act Noir.
