After the degree in Political Sciences and the qualification as a teacher, Vittorio Mattioli used to teach French Language and Literature in  Roman Secondary Schools.
He studied Composition with  Maestros Tullio Pinelli, Armando Renzi, Ivan Vandor, Boris Porena, Luigi A. Gigante, Domenico Guaccero and Alessandro Cusatelli.
He taught Musical Theory and Solfeggio in a few  State Conservatoires. He has never been allured by celebralisms, nor avant-gardisms, experimentalisms or dazzling invented languages, thus being criticized by the ones who used to believe in such principles in an absolutistic way but keeping in a sound touch with tradition and aiming at expressing spiritual realities, not concepts or will; he believes in the theory of art, in C.G. Jung’s collective unconscious and man. He has written poems (revealing his own vocation to himself), surreal stories, theatre scenes and two symbolical novels; he has also won prizes but has only partially published his works.
