His first book titled The Cappella Musicale of San Petronio in Bologna under Giovanni Paolo Colonna (1674-1695): History-Organization-Repertoire was published in 2003 by the Belgian Historical Institute in Rome. More recently, he co-edited a volume of studies on Corelli, titled Arcomelo 2013 (Lucca: LIM, 2015) with Guido Olivieri, and published a book with 5 CDs with Bruno Cocset and les Basses Réunies, Cello Stories: The Cello in the 17th and 18th Centuries for Outhere (Alpha 890) in Paris. In 2020 he edited a volume of essays on I Bononcini da Modena all'Europa (1666-1747) for LIM in Lucca.
