Alberto Cartuccia Cingolani

Italy

Alberto Cartuccia Cingolani was born in Macerata on 04/05/2017 and attends the first class of primary school. His first approach to music took place in 2020, during the lockdown, when, together with his mother Alessia, who graduated in opera singing at the Pescara Conservatory, he began to take his first steps on the keyboard, through small musical games and songs. Little by little, remarkable aptitudes emerged, supported by a strong absolute pitch already evident at the age of 3 and he recorded important progress, which within a short time, in 2021, led him to take on international online piano competitions by age categories, receiving the first excellent results. To date, always under the guidance of his mother, Alberto has collected 94 first prizes, many of them absolute, in national and international competitions, online and in person, among which we remember "Città di Albenga", "Piano Talents Milano" , “C.Schumann – Massa”, “Rospigliosi”, WPTA Madrid, “Orbetello Piano Competition”, “London Classical Music Competition”, “BTHWN – Vienna”, “Musik Festival Vienna”, “Elsa Pozzoli” of Seregno (MB), “Clavierland Piano Competition – Vienna”, San Donà di Piace, Città di Minerbio and many others. A video of him in which he performs Mozart's Sonata k 545, on the occasion of a piano competition, obtained millions of views, also arousing great resonance in the international press. As a small pianist, also as a soloist with orchestra, he has participated in various cultural and charity events, musical events and festivals (Liszt Festival – Grottammare, Civitanova Classica, “G. Verdi” Conservatory of Milan, Real Conservatorio de Madrid, Sala Brahms of the Musikverein of Vienna), as well as television broadcasts on local and national networks (Rai - Canale 5). He recently received the "Music Award" on the occasion of the prestigious "XXI Giuseppe Sciacca Award", whose solemn ceremony was held in the Vatican, at the Pontifical Urbaniana University.
