Since the end of the Seventies is has been devoted to traditional American music and he was among the first to introduce Bluegrass music in Italy. The well known “Folkstudio” of Giancarlo Cesaroni, the cradle of ethnic and traditional music of Rome, was the springboard for Danilo’s long career in music. In 2011 he performed at the 2nd Countryfest Internacional Mexico and played five concerts in Russia . recently he perfumed in one of the most important Bluegrass festival in Czech Republic (2014). He collaborated with various musicians in the making of their albums, including one with David Rodriguez, a great Texas singer-songwriter, with whom he recorded the album "Racing Aimless" (released in 2012). He is the organizer of the "Rome Bluegrass Jam", an important point of reference for cultural and musical diffusion for the fans of this genre.
