Massimiliano Caldi

Conductor

The passion for music actually started from the piano. After discovering this wonderful instrument around the age of 4 ... at 16 I discovered the orchestra, which, with its magic and enchantment of an organism only seemingly monolithic but in fact founded on the action of dozens and dozens of thinking heads ... still holds me bound to it, still, after so many years.
