Riccardo, a multilingual individual born in 1981 in the northern region of Italy, had the unique experience of growing up bilingual, fluently speaking both Italian and German. After completing his high school education, he ventured into the construction industry, dedicating approximately ten years to this field before pursuing his passion for literature and acting as a self-taught individual.
In 2009, Riccardo made the bold decision to relocate to Munich, Germany, with the intention of furthering his acting career, taking professional acting lessons, and refining his skills. His hard work and dedication soon paid off as he secured a diverse range of roles in both German and Italian television shows and feature films, collaborating with esteemed directors such as Gabriele Mainetti, Giacomo Battiato, Leonardo Tiberi, Luca Ribuoli, and Bernd Fischerauer, among others.
In addition to his on-screen endeavors, Riccardo co-created, produced, directed, and acted in his own web series, Crimetube SouthTyrol, which garnered widespread recognition after being selected for approximately 20 film festivals. This critically acclaimed project earned him the prestigious "Best Crime and Thriller Award" at the Rome International Webfest.
Riccardo's creative endeavors continued to flourish in 2022, as he created, produced, and directed a thought-provoking short film, I LOVE YOU, which shed light on the complexities of toxic relationships. This powerful piece of work won the coveted "Best Women's Issue Award" at the Beverly Hills Arthouse Festival in November 2022.
