Early Years

The Beginning

Born in Italy, my journey with music began before I could even reach the piano keys. Growing up surrounded by classical recordings, the language of music became my mother tongue.

Childhood

First Keys

I touched the piano for the first time as a child. What started as curiosity quickly transformed into obsession. At age 8, I met my first teacher — the mentor who shaped me into a musician. I owe him everything. His guidance is the reason I now dedicate myself to teaching: to give back what was so generously given to me.

2010 – 2016

The Conservatory Years

My path led me to Italy's finest institutions — the G. Verdi Conservatory in Milan, studying with E. Fedrigotti and E. Borri, and the ISSM in Siena under H. Moreno. These years were marked by growth and recognition: victories at Lamporecchio, S. Vincenzo, Città di Firenze, and Città di Grosseto, and the honour of the Torricelli Scholarship. It all culminated on 21 June 2016, when I stepped onto the stage of Teatro dei Rinnovati in Siena to perform Rachmaninov's Second Piano Concerto — my first time as soloist with orchestra.

2017 – 2019

Master of Music

At the Conservatorium van Maastricht, I completed my MMus in Piano Performance under Igor Roma, winner of the Liszt Competition. I was recipient of the Vocalis Scholarship for collaborative pianists and graduated with full marks, honour and distinction — the jury noting it as one of the best final performances in recent years.

2002 – Present

Opera & The Stage

I've performed as soloist, chamber musician, and opera répétiteur at venues like Amiata Piano Festival, Muziekgebouw Eindhoven, Theater Vrijthof Maastricht, Concertzaal Tilburg, Auditorio Tenerife, Conservatorio Verdi Milan, Salone dei Cinquecento Florence, Teatro dei Rozzi Siena, Teatro dei Rinnovati Siena, Sala Rosa Siena, Festival Duino, Orbetello Piano Festival, Piano City Milan, and many others across Italy, France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and England — collaborating with artists such as conductor Christopher Franklin and mezzo-soprano Siena Licht Miller.

2020 – Present

Educator & Innovator

Since 2020, I've run an online piano academy, delivering over 4,000 classes to students worldwide. I'm a pioneer of online teaching, developing a method that brings conservatory-level instruction to adult learners through technology.
