He later studied composition with renowned Italian composer Franco Donatoni at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome. Ugoletti's early compositions were heavily influenced by the works of Bach, Mozart, and Beethoven.

Throughout his career, Ugoletti received numerous awards and honors for his contributions to classical music. In 1998, he was awarded the prestigious Grawemeyer Award for Music Composition for his Symphony No. 7. The award recognized Ugoletti's innovative approach to composition and his ability to push the boundaries of classical music.
