Alberto Bologni studied at the Conservatorio Cherubini in Florence, and subsequentely took a soloist’s diploma at the Rotterdam Conservatoire. His training was informed by some of the most celebrated European violin-playing traditions: the Venetian school of Giulio Pasquali and the German-Hungarian school of Jenö Hubay via Sandro Materassi, and the Russian-Soviet of Oistrakh and Kogan through Stephan Gheorghiu and Ilya Grubert. An enthusiast of art, cinema and literature, Alberto Bologni’s intellectual curiosity has made him one of the most versatile violinists.
