Italian pianist Andrea Molteni's solo concert took place at the Cultural Center of the Italian Embassy in China, on March 6. As an artistic and cultural feast, it provided the audience with unparalleled musical enjoyment.

At the beginning of the event, Federico Roberto Antonelli, cultural counselor of the Italian Embassy, introduced the piano used for the performance-the FAZIOLI-F183 Marco Polo custom-made grand piano.

The FAZIOLI-F183 Marco Polo grand piano added vibrancy to the event as it featured a unique red mirror finish and Italian artist Canaletto's famous paintings inside the piano lid. The painting depicted the trade relations between ancient China and Venice, presenting a prosperous scene vividly.

Molteni's performance was radiant and infectious, engaging the audience in a spiritual dialogue through his musical language.

An impressive rising star in the Italian piano scene, Molteni continues to shine on the international stage as he performs regularly in the US, Italy, the UK, China, and Singapore. He has appeared at renowned venues such as the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay in Singapore, the Verbrugghen Hall at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, the Qingdao Grand Theatre in China.
