His first feature film, L'ARIA SERENA DELL'OVEST, was released in 1990 and was a great success in audiences. It was shown in competition at the Locarno Film Festival, won the Grand Prix at the Annecy Festival and was invited to numerous international festivals (Montreal, Rotterdam, "New Directors New Films" at the Moma in New York).
