A polyhedric artist, boasting long experience in the field of jazz music. He collaborated with many of the major Italian and international jazzists, such as Giorgio Gaslini, Gianluigi Trovesi, Paolo Fresu, Enrico Rava, Pierre Favre, Franco D’andrea, Martin Dietrich, Joe Garrison, Tino Tracanna, Antonio Faraò, Rudy Migliardi , Arup Kantidas, Dudu Kwatech, a.o.

In the last fifteen years has worked in different areas (jazz, theatre, art, contemporary dance, photography,videoart…) continually in the search for the… “fifth dimension”  of reality: the Sound!

He composed the music, produced video and directed a theatre performance, "La Via dell'Acqua, realized various musical projects and records, appreciated both by the public and the specialized press. He wrote and recorded music for the modern dance performances “Canali” and “Huis Clos”, with by Martine Bucci, “The Moving Sound” with choreography by Eugenio De Mello , “La Via dell’Acqua” with the actor Albino Bignamini, “Travolti”, (video-theater-music performance) with the actor Walter Tiraboschi , He participated in "Specchi d'Acqua", a contemporary art exhibition (Villa Viscontea, Castello di Trezzo sull'Adda, Milan) in which he presented his music on CD (The Path of Water - Modern Times Records). The interest for the possible relations between different visual arts and the world of sounds, led him to the creation of "Suoni e Ombre" (performance for saxophones and computer), “Fording” (performance for saxophones, computer and images) and “Fireworks” (videoart project and “live” performance) with the photographer Dario Guerini , “The Colours of Black” with the great artist Mario Benedetti. He has collaborated with artist Morgan O’Hara and the english vocalist Sarah Frances for the  performance “Live Transmissions”.

Previously professor of Sound Design at the Academy of Fine Arts of Bergamo and L.A.B.A (Libera Accademia di Belle Arti) of Brescia,  Nacci perfected an artistic language where music interacts with the tones, harmonies and rhythms of instruments which he records in the most diverse environments thus creating pictures in which the usual hierarchy of image and sound is overturned in such a way as to give the latter the role of “point of reference” and guideline for the sequence of the film. Using this style, he created works of video art to great critical and public acclaim, winning prizes in Italy and abroad. His work has been presented in Saint Petersburg, Philadelphia, Puebla (Mexico), Vien, Lisboa, Rome, New York, Los Angeles, Locarno, Paris, Strasbourg, Toronto,  Milan , Florence, Naples, Bergamo, Verbania, Gorizia.
