In 1997, the Italian Mozart Association in Rovereto, supported by the Internationale Stiftung Mozarteum Salzburg, commissioned him the TafelOpera “DON GIOVANNI, THE REDEEMED RAKE“ (1998), and later it is published by Loescher Editions in the didactic books for the first and second level "Musica dal Vivo" by Giovanni Duci with a preface by Claudio Abbado. In 2000, the National Research Institute for Material Physics (INFM) commissioned him, for the Genoa INFMeeting 2000, “LEONIDS’ PLAY“, a composition for 5 audio CDs created on the real sound of the Leonids provided by NASA. In 2004, he was commissioned the opera “GRETCHENS TRAUM”, performed at the Ettersburg Castle (supported by Stiftung Weimar Kassik). In 2007, he recorded with Duo Messieri/Selva the audio cd “NOISES X” (Drycastle Records) and two years late “MA$KEN” (Drycastle Records, 2009). In 2010, he has the world premiere of the “QUARTETTO D’ARCHI No.2” played by Kracow Philharmonic String Quartet for the “92nd Anniversary of the Reconquest of Poland's Independence” in Krakow Jewish Cultural Center. In 2012, he has the world premiere by “ZADIG” 21 Capricios for solo cello (also live electronics) with Nicola Baroni (cello, Max/Msp and hypercello) in Espoo (Finland), and in the 2017, with the same cellist, he records all 21 capricios on AmadeusArte label and distributed by Naxos. In 2018 the Mascagni Conservatory of Music in Livorno dedicates him a concert for the "Suoni Inauditi" International Festival, commissioning him "SALMO XLIII", lyric for soprano, male chorus, baritone saxophone and live electronics (Elena Tereshchenko, soprano; Valerio Barbieri, saxophone; Maestro Gabriele Micheli, conductor); in the same year the Embassy of San Marino in Vienna presents its music at the Rotunda Hall of the United Nations (Elena Tereshchenko, soprano; Valerio Barbieri and Cristina Roffi, saxophones). In April 2019 at the Teatro Rossini in Pesaro, Messieri represented the world premiere by "ALICE", a two-act opera with the Rossini Symphony Orchestra conducted by Maestro Dean Anderson and directed by Anna Tereshchenko (Elena Tereshchenko, Lena/Alice; Stefanica Baitan, Leila/Nurse; Eva Ruggeri, Anja/Nun; Dielli Hoxha, Mehmet/God/Devil).
