He served as President of the Trento Film Festival, having previously chaired the Italian Alpine Club (1992–1998) and the Club Arc Alpin (2001–2004). Until last year, he was Vice-President of the International Alliance for Mountain Film (IAMF). He has also served as a jury member at the Bansko Film Festival. His passion for festivals and mountain cinema is something he has also passed on to his granddaughters, who have already volunteered in Trento and Korea.
