In 1990 he founded the quarterly Ricerca '90, which he's been directing since then. Since the beginning of his interest in astrology, he has conducted statistical research. At the beginning of the '90s, he obtained solid results with researches on astral heredity on a sample of over 75,000 subjects. Some of his results and methods have later been challenged by other publications.
