Filippo’s extensive training and diverse background have shaped his unique comedic voice. He trained in the prestigious arts of improvisation and clowning in Chicago at Second City and in Paris at Ecole Gaulier, two of the world's most revered performance schools.  This education is evident in his dynamic stage presence, which blends stand-up with improvisation, music, and surreal storytelling.  His comedy draws on his experiences living between different cultures and cities, offering a vibrant and often absurd perspective on the world.  He also hosts two podcasts, "Anything Goes" in English and "Con un fico di voce" in Italian, where he explores a wide range of topics through sketches, interviews, and music.
