Moricca, Teatro "D'Annunzio" (LT), Palazzo "Caetani" for the Fondi Music Festival as both a soloist with the Fondi City Chamber Orchestra (Maestro G. Pezone 2014; Maestro G.

In 2021, he recorded and released the CD "Mozart Piano Variations" for the Da Vinci Classics label, a monographic work on Mozart's piano variations, receiving recognition and being featured on Rai Radio 3's "Primo Movimento" program. In November of the same year, he was invited by the University of Roma Tre, Department of Education Sciences, to present the CD "Mozart Piano Variations" for the "Musica In Formazione" series, as both a speaker and performer.
Alessandro also dedicates himself to interdisciplinary artistic and research projects. He collaborated on the project "Harmony between Philosophy and Music" with philosopher and essayist Prof. Diego Fusaro, and participated in the presentation of Marcello Veneziani's book "The Unforgivable," during which he performed Chopin's pieces.
His artistic versatility extends to composition and improvisation, with concert programs spanning various genres and styles. He has collaborated with the Jazz Orchestra of the Conservatory "O.Respighi" in Latina, conducted by Maestro M. Corvini. He received recognition in the "Lazio Sound" competition in the Jazz category in 2020, and won the Gold Excellence Piano Awards - Original Piano Solo, with his compositions: "Around Debussy" and "Excurrere".

During his academic journey, he participated in masterclasses and advanced courses with renowned masters such as Maurizio Baglini, Roberto Prosseda, Alessandra Ammara, and Carlo Guaitoli, Nora Doallo, Marco Marzocchi, and Bruno Canino, among others. His encounter with Maestro Alessandra Brustia in 2015 and subsequently with Maestro Alessandro Deljavan, with whom he continued his studies from 2018, were fundamental.
