He was a teacher of composition at the Arrigo Boito Conservatory of Parma from 1975-84, and since 1982, he has been active in the first experimentation in Italy of having an attached high school alongside the institute. He has been manager of the A. Tonelli Musical Institute of Carpi since 1986, and from 1990, manager of the Achille Peri Musical Institute of Reggio nell'Emilia.
His works have been played many times in Italy, including performances at Aterforum, the Festival Due Dimensioni, Musica nel Frentano, Spazio Novecento, the Milano Estate, the Festival di Sarteano, Concerti della RAI, Europa '93 di Vittorio Veneto, Musica Attuale di Bologna, Sonopolis di Mestre, and the Valentiniano di Terni Festival.

His works have also been heard in The Netherlands (Gaudeamus), Norway, Romania, Russia, Switzerland (Music in the Mendrisiotto), Turkey, the UK (Sotheby's, 1993), the USA, and Yugoslavia (International Festival, Belgrade, 1995, 1997).

His works have been broadcast on RAI 3, TV-Koper, Italian Swiss Radio, Russian National Radio, and ORTF (Austria). In 1990, the Rimsky-Korsakov Museum and the Association of Composers invited him to Leningrad, and there he worked on the score for the film Donna variante di destino by Vladimir Makedonsky (for SoyuzTelefilm). His 1993 work De insulis inventis was used in the film Colombo e Leonardo by Dmitry Demin.
In 1996, the Italian Institute of Culture invited him to Vancouver for lectures and premières of his works. In 2000, he was a guest at Fort Worth, Texas, where his work Frammenti di Lesbo was performed, and where he received an invitation to write a composition for the orchestra of that city.
Guido Baggiani, Renzo Cresti, Giampaolo Minardi, Marzio Peter, Guido Salvetti, and George Taborelli have all written profiles about Mr. Talmelli. His publishers include Curci, Edizioni Suvini Zerboni, Rugginenti, Pro Musica Studium, Edipan, and Agenda Editrice.
