Born into a legacy of music, Davide has cultivated a rare blend of tradition and innovation to become an emblematic figure in the musical world. As an Italian pianist, composer, and musician, his journey began under the tutelage of his father—a renowned pianist and drummer—ushering in his lifelong passion for the piano at the tender age of 4.
By the age of 13, Davide’s extraordinary talent was undeniable, securing the National C.E.M Competition title for two consecutive years. His academic pursuits led him to graduate from the esteemed L. Campiani Conservatory of Mantua, Italy, in 2012. Not resting on his laurels, Davide furthered his mastery of the classical piano with a Master of Music from the Manhattan School of Music in 2014, and in 2021 achieved another milestone by graduating in jazz piano from the G.Verdi Conservatory in Milan.
His debut album ‘Tunnel’ in 2011 set the stage, quickly followed by ‘Fly Away’ in 2014, which sold out and gained media attention. By 2016, his third album, ‘La vie en…rock’, soared to the top of iTunes charts. His latest Album , ‘This is Dave’, in 2021, showcased his global appeal, securing a spot in the top ranks of Classical Music on Amazon Music’s world charts.
Davide has played from small venues to large stages, including a 2014 U.S. tour featuring ‘Blue Note’ in New York. In 2016, chosen by Christo for ‘The Floating Piers’ closing concert, he followed with over 300 shows across Italy promoting ‘La Vie En…Rock’. The ‘One Thousand’ tour in 2022, featuring a trailblazing holographic piano, marked a new chapter in pushing musical boundaries while maintaining the soulful depth that has defined his career.
DAVIDE X DOLCE & GABBANA: A Symphony of Style and Sound
Since 2020, Davide has been an integral part of the Dolce & Gabbana family, bringing his unique melodies to the heart of the brand’s most exclusive events and campaigns across Europe.
Davide’s talent and vision elevated him to the esteemed position of artistic-musical director for the ‘’Alta Moda,’’ ‘’Alta Sartoria,’’ and ‘’Alta Gioielleria’’ fashion shows in the romantic cities of Venice and Syracuse. Under his direction, events transformed into immersive experiences, with each note telling a story, elevating the haute couture with his compositions. His pinnacle was in July 2022, in Sicily, where he debuted a six-piece piano masterpiece at a Dolce & Gabbana fashion show, merging music seamlessly with majestic fashion.
Perhaps most remarkable is Davide’s record-breaking performance in Ladakh, India, on June 29, 2023. Ascending 17,634 ft to the peak of Khardung La, he set the Guinness World Record for the highest altitude grand piano performance. Davide’s journey embodies the power of ambitious dreams and collaborative spirit, seamlessly melding the worlds of music and fashion. More than just a musician, he transcends cultural and continental divides, symbolizing unity and pioneering innovation in today’s diverse musical landscapes.
