Michele graduated (hons) from Naples, Italy in 2003. Strongly motivated to learn many different approaches to Veterinary Medicine, he spent almost three and half years studying and working all over Europe including one of the largest practices on the Curragh in Ireland and Universities in UK, France and Belgium. Michele has experience of running his own sports horse practice in Italy where he treated a mixed population of show jumpers, quarter horses and standardbreds, as well as hacks and pleasure horses. During these years his commitment to best clinical practice and continuing professional development was recognised by the University of Naples Veterinary School, where he was also employed as their primary equine surgeon and lecturer for the Equine Service.

After relocating to the UK, Michele spent 5 years in practice in North Yorkshire and 3 years in Cheshire before joining the Towcester team in 2022.

Michele has always pursued his professional development, he now has quite an impressive list of qualifications! He is an RCVS recognised Advanced Practitioner in both Equine Orthopaedic Surgery and Equine Soft Tissue Surgery, he has a PhD, as well as Diplomas and Certificates in Veterinary Radiology, Reproduction and Clinical Sciences. We are confident that Michele will be able to support and expand the surgery side of our practice whilst also lending a much needed hand to our orthopaedics caseload.
