Stefano grew up influenced by the music listened by her sister (Mission, Duran Duran, Cure, Cult, Simple Minds) and many other 80s bands. During his teenage years he particularly focused his interest on Depeche Mode (he retains himself as a great fan) and electronic music in general.
In the 90s he got involved in the funk-rock-grunge movement (the so called "crossover"). In this period he started playing the acoustic guitar of the father (a folk musician) and he found out how funny was to emulate the riffs of songs such as "nothing else matter" - Metallica, or "under the bridge" - Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Seriously committed he began taking guitar lessons. Anyway after some years tired just to practice with boring technical exercises, he started looking for musicians to form a rock band.
A day, in his favourite CD-shop, he got attracted by an ad of a keyboard player who was looking for a guitarist to experiment with different music styles. In this way Stefano knew Sergio in late autumn of 1997.
He was very happy to be able finally to compose new tunes and not just perform covers. Moreover he was very impressed by the dedication and by the strong "faith" of Sergio in his music, and by the possibility to experiment combining different music styles.
