Born into a family of artists, Nico would often skip school to be on film sets. For two decades as assistant director, Nico had the chance to work alongside of directors such as Martin Scorsese, JJ Abrahams, Ron Howard, Sam Mendes and Wes Anderson, that influenced his aesthetics and gave him an inside view of what the director's craft is about.

In the field of advertising, he has worked regularly on big brand campaigns for Gucci, Versace, Dolce e Gabbana, Diesel, Audi, Lamborghini and in music videos such as Live in Pompei by Travis Scott.

In 2022 he directed “Il Grande Gioco” (The Great Game) for Sky Studios, aired internationally. His second directorial project “Blackout – Season 2” for Rai Italia is currently in editing, airing on January 2025.

He recently produced the documentary “Django and Django” currently airing on Netflix, hosted by Quentin Tarantino, and he is writing my first feature, set to go in production in 2025.
