Salvi
Paolo Salvi began studying piano at the age of five with Silvia Pezzotta and later graduated with highest honors and distinction from the Luca Marenzio Conservatory of Brescia under the guidance of Massimo Cotroneo and Orazio Sciortino. He subsequently specialized in Contemporary Piano with Emanuele Arciuli at the ETS Academy of Pinerolo.
His artistic activity combines performance, research, and the promotion of contemporary music. In 2025, he curated the first edition of the contemporary music festival Entropia, supported by the Province of Bergamo. In 2026, he published the essay Il pianoforte in Flavio Testi: drammaturgia e funzione strutturale in collaboration with NoMus and Die Schachtel.
As a soloist and chamber musician, he has performed at prestigious festivals including Piano City Milano, the Brescia and Bergamo International Piano Festival, the Bari Piano Festival, the Maggio della Musica di Napoli, and has also given recitals in China.
Paolo Salvi is the recipient of several national and international awards, including the First Absolute Prize at the European Music Competition of Moncalieri (2024), the L. Marenzio Prize (2025), and the First Absolute Prize in the Contemporary Music category at the XVIII Città di Treviso International Competition (2026).
He has further refined his artistic training through masterclasses with distinguished pianists such as Louis Lortie, Roberto Prosseda, Francesco Libetta, Alexander Lonquich, and Alexander Romanovsky.
