He is also passionate about contemporary italian history and collaborates with MNEO (the Italian Memory Archive) on the composition of the original score for a film that give voice to a moving story of the witnesses of the beginning of the Covid pandemic in Italy in 2020: “Through the walls. Stories at the time of the pandemic “. The film version of this huge work became a feature film broadcast in prime time on the italian network television Rete 4. On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the Bologna massacre at the central train station in 1980 he has soundtracked the documentary film "Our truths" on the testimonies of survivors.
He explores ever new languages und experiments with forms of performance in unusual places, such as the concert at sunrise on top of the disused tower of the NATO base on the Hoher Bogen mountain in Bavaria, a few kilometers from the border with the Czech Republic, which belonged to the Soviet Union until 1989.
