Short Bio: I’m a pneumologist and I practice the medical profession to San Camillo-Forlanini Hospital in Rome. In 2005 I gained a qualification in Sleep Specialist released by Italian Sleep Medicine Association. From 2011 I run, with the neurologist Dott. Sergio Garbarino, the scientific content of “ItaliaSonno” one of the most important national Italian conferences in Sleep Medicine joint to his VII edition. The desire to transmit the knowledge about sleep and his diseases gained during my career has brought me in school, especially in Roman High School, to meet young people and inform them about the importance of sleep and the consequences of his voluntary deprivation. I carry on my career as pneumologist and “Sleep Specialist” with other specialists like neurologist, ENT (otolaryngologist), dentist and psychologist who studied for sleep diseases. This multidisciplinary diagnostic/therapeutic approach leads to significant positive results for all of those who address to our Group.

Scientific director of ItaliaSonno since 2011.

Location: ROME
