Giulio Pietropaolo is an Italian pianist and composer whose artistic sensibility is shaped by both academic rigor and creative freedom. He trained with Marco Baraldi at the Livorno Conservatory, graduating in 2006 cum laude with Special Mention. He later continued his musical development with Aquiles Delle Vigne at Codarts University of the Arts in Rotterdam, and with Nino Kereselidze at CSKG in Madrid, an institution where he currently shares his experience as a piano teacher. 

Awarded in international competitions and active as a concert pianist, Pietropaolo has made curiosity his artistic compass. This creative drive led him to explore improvisation and composition – paths that converge in Minimal, his first album, where his voice as both pianist and creator merges into an intimate, contemplative language. 

As a pedagogue, he is known for his collaboration with Piano Safari, a US-based  publisher specialized in piano pedagogy, with whom he has published the Melodic  Explorations series – three volumes of piano duets for student and teacher – and the  two volumes of Dreaming, a collection of 16 original solo piano pieces that reveal his  distinctive lyricism. 

Alongside his classical piano teaching at CSKG, Pietropaolo leads workshops, courses, and educational concerts focused on improvisation and musical creation, inspiring students of all ages and levels to discover their inner voice and to transform the piano into a space for exploration and personal expression.
