Projects: PIANO SOLO The Italian (Music) Garden 

I have always been captivated by the great tradition of Solo Jazz Piano, an essential discipline for any contemporary pianist. This passion has led me, over the years, to perform in remarkably diverse and inspiring settings: from the historic courtyards of Apulian masserie at sunset to the heart of a vineyard during the summer solstice; from seaside performances under a lunar eclipse to the most refined, intimate spaces.

My goal is to transform any venue hosting a fine piano — preferably a grand — into a true stage, whether for a themed concert or for a sophisticated and evocative accompaniment.

Driven by these diverse environments, my repertoire has evolved beyond the "typical" jazz standard into something more intricate and personal. This project, which I have titled "The Italian Musical Garden" (Il Giardino Musicale all’Italiana), features a curated selection of genres: international pop and soul hits, 19th-century Neapolitan classics (the universal cradle of the singer-songwriter tradition), a personal collection of jazz standards, and gems from the Italian "cantautore" tradition.

Each piece is delivered through unique arrangements, consistently infused with an essential groove and a refined improvisational taste inspired by the masters I admire most: Bobby Timmons, McCoy Tyner, Keith Jarrett, and Brad Mehldau.

These musical journeys will soon be gathered into a forthcoming recording project.
