Diego Spitaleri

Italian pianist and composer (proudly born in Sicily) active for over 40 years with more than 2,500 concerts in Italy and around the world. He is a teacher of jazz piano, jazz harmony and improvisation technique. For the past ten years he has devoted himself to composing solo piano pieces. In 2017 he released his first CD Pianofor(t)ever and since 2021 numerous singles exceeding 7 million streams in more than 160 countries: his music is inlcuded in thousands of playlists. He has composed for numerous theatrical, audiovisual and video sound works. Diego has made his land and his cultural roots the beating heart of his music. His art was born from a deep bond with the Mediterranean, a sea of encounters, contaminations and thousand-year-old stories. In his compositions and interpretations we perceive an authentic Mediterranean nature, made of warmth, openness to dialogue and fusion between different cultures. His music is never just technique or virtuosity, but becomes an emotional journey that crosses soundscapes suspended between classical, neoclassical and contemporary. Each note becomes a story, evoking atmospheres that belong both to the personal soul and to the universal breath of the Mediterranean.
