Giovanni Doria Miglietta was born in Imperia, Italy, in 1979. He started learning the piano under his father’s guidance and completed his studies under Lidia Baldecchi Arcuri at the Conservatory of Genoa. In 2005 he earned a Master’s Degree at the Academy of Music of Pinerolo under Laura Richaud. Along with the same teacher, he earned the 2nd Level Academic Diploma at the Conservatory of Turin with highest distinction (cum laude and special mention). He studied with pianists of the stature of Carlo Balzaretti and Arnulf Von Armin, and attended masterclasses with pianists like Alexander Lonquich, Philippe Entremont, Maria Joao Pires and Jean Bernard Pommier, who selected him to perform Saint-Saens’ Piano Concert No.2 with the Monte-Carlo Philharmonic Orchestra. His meeting with the pianist Enrico Pace – with whom he started studying in 2008 at the Academy of Pinerolo – marked a fundamental step in his career. He is laureate of many international piano competitions: “Rovere D’Oro” in San Bartolomeo al Mare, Cidim Nuove Carriere (Palermo), Ibiza Piano Competition (Spain), The Muse International Piano Competition (Greece), Jean Françaix Piano Competition (France), Southern Highland Piano Competition (Australia). He teaches piano lessons at the Academy of Music of Pinerolo. www.giovannidoriamiglietta.info
