What is my story?
I am an Italian violinist who’s already performed in several European countries and prestigious concert venues.
I was born in Imperia in 1997 and began studying the violin at the age of 11 with Prof. Alfonso Moretta at the ‘G. Amadeo’ music school. Prof. Moretta managed to transfer his passion for this instrument to me, and he still is an important reference point for me today.
In 2020, I graduated with top marks and honours from the “N. Paganini” Conservatory of Music in Genoa, studying with Professor Vittorio Marchese. I also had the privilege of living at the prestigious student residence “Delle Peschiere”, where I developed various soft skills thanks to the JUMP course (Job University Matching Program).
I continued my studies in Germany, spending an Erasmus semester at the Mannheim University of Music with Prof. Noè Inui.
In 2021, I was admitted to the prestigious Freiburg University of Music in the class of Prof. Simone Zgraggen, who was able to develop my skills to the fullest. I completed my Master of Arts in violin with full marks in July 2023.
I have won several prizes and scholarships, including first prize in the international competition in Cortemilia and third prize in the international competition in Moncalieri in 2019. In November 2022 and 2023, I was awarded the German national scholarship (Deutschland Stipendium) at the Freiburg University of Music.
In 2023, I was invited as a speaker and musician at TEDx Salzburg at the Mozarteum University, where I explored how classical music can break conventions and reach new audiences. In October 2024, I was also a speaker and performer at TEDx Sanremo at the Ariston Theatre.
During my studies in Italy, I served as Concertmaster and soloist in the Paganini Orchestra, and the orchestra of the Conservatory of Genoa.
I was also the second violin leader of the orchestra of the Musique en Ré’ Festival in La Rochelle, France, and the AIMS Festival Orchestra in Solsona, Spain.
I collaborate regularly with several professional orchestras, including the Basel Sinfonietta and Baden-Baden Philarmonie. I’m also thrilled to have been selected to participate in the 2023 spring project of the National Youth Orchestra of Luxembourg.
I’ve participated in several important Masterclasses, including the Summer Academy in Cervo, Italy, and the Festival Academy in Budapest, Hungary. In July 2023 I was privileged to be invited to join the staff at the Festival Academy.
I work as a coach for two semi-professional orchestras: the Bach Collegium and the Junges Kammerorchester Freiburg. With them, I have had the opportunity to perform as a soloist in major concertos. In addition to this, I am a violin teacher at the Montessori Institute Angell, and in October 2023, I began an artistic-pedagogical master’s program at the Freiburg University of Music. Therefore, I participated as a guest lecturer to a JUMP Course music module.
Currently, I am in Budapest for further training with Professor Eszter Perényi at the Liszt Academy, as well as for various projects and concerts.
