About Davide
After my piano studies, I graduated with highest honors (110 e lode) from the Conservatorio G. Verdi in Milan with a Bachelor’s degree in Harpsichord and Historical Keyboards. I’m currently completing my Master’s degree there under the guidance of Professors Anna Fontana, Chiara Tiboni, and Attilio Cremonesi, while also expanding my horizons through an Erasmus exchange at the Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Frankfurt with Eva Maria Pollerus.
My artistic heart lies in the Baroque world—both as a solo harpsichordist and as an ensemble musician—with a deep passion for improvisation and the rich, creative art of basso continuo. To share this love for early music, I co-founded Ensemble Themelion alongside traversist Francesco Paoletti, violinist Filomena Sarcuni, and cellist/gambist David Dell'Oro. Together, we dedicate ourselves to historically informed performances of 18th-century chamber repertoire.
Over the years, my journey has been shaped by inspiring masterclasses with masters like Emilia Fadini, Stefan Gottfried, Pierre Hantaï, Enrico Baiano, Olivier Baumont, Attilio Cremonesi, Ton Koopman, Barbara Willi, Luca Guglielmi, Catalina Vicens and Florian Birsak.
I’ve also explored creation beyond performance, winning first prize at the Il Tuo Concorso composition competition in 2020.
I’ve had the joy of performing across Europe as both soloist and continuo player. Highlights include:
Performing sonatas by Domenico and Alessandro Scarlatti, alongside works by Handel and Bach, for the Primavera Antica series, and opening the ClassMusic project at the historic Teatro della Concordia in Monte Castello di Vibio.
Partnering with director Magna Ferreira in Porto on two special productions—rediscovering lost works by Frei Francisco de S. Boaventura and playing continuo for Alessandro Scarlatti’s Caino e Abele.
Conducting as Maestro al Cembalo Buxtehude’s Membra Jesu Nostri under the mentorship of Anna Fontana and Noelia Reverte Reche, as well as playing continuo for Handel’s La Resurrezione and Scarlatti’s Il Giardino di Rose, both directed by Attilio Cremonesi.
Participating in the 57th and 58th Urbino Festival (Urbino Musica Antica) as a harpsichord accompanist and repetiteur for the vocal masterclasses of Carlotta Colombo and Monica Piccinini and performing Fux’s Il Fonte della Salute at the 2026 Internationale Barocktage Melk under Stefan Gottfried.
Looking ahead, I am eager to keep diving into historical sources, mastering basso continuo, and exploring the vast range of vocal and instrumental Baroque repertoire.
When I’m not at the keyboard, you’ll usually find me looking up at the sky. Aviation has always been a major passion of mine, and alongside my musical career, I am currently studying to get my pilot's license to become an airplane pilot.
