Graduated in law with honours from the University “La Sapienza” of Rome in 1995, Rodolfo moved at the age of twenty-two in China where he worked for three years as a legal advisor for national and international operators as legal counsel finalising commercial agreements and joint ventures.

After two years as in-house counsel of major industrial groups, in 2000 he joined the international law firm Baker & McKenzie, which he left as a partner in September 2019 to establish his own firm, with colleagues from national and international firms and the academic world. In 2025 he joined Belluzzo International Partners with his team to create the Legal Corporate M&A practice, which he now leads internationally.
