His work follows two main lines. The Skeptical Inquirer'' and the ''Journal of the Society for Psychical Research''. The other one is the testing of psychics, often conducted along with his colleague and friend Dr. Luigi Garlaschelli, at Pavia's University. Although the results do not furnish proof of real paranormal activities, they tell a fascinating story about the too human will to believe. During the lecture, Massimo makes ample use of video material and gives live demonstrations of various psychic trickery.
