Edoardo Torbianelli was born in Trieste in 1970.
As a pianist, he has performed in prestigious seasons and festivals and has recorded for the main European radios. His recordings have received international critical acclaim and prestigious awards.
His interest in historical performance leads him to play on period instruments and makes him an expert on the 18th and 19th centuries. An excellent improviser, he composes in both traditional and contemporary styles.
