His debut was in a club near Turin called "Woodstock". He also worked in a small club called Palladio in Cascinette d'Ivrea (30 km north of Turin) from 1987 until around 1992 and in a club called Le Palace in the Valentino Castle Garden in Turin.

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
