Flavio Cucchi is considered by critics as one of the most renowned and admired Italian guitarists of the inter-national scene. He has given hundreds of recitals in America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, and gave his first guitar recital at the age of 8. His concerts focus on contemporary music, and he has played world premieres in prestigious theaters in Italy and abroad. He is a professor at Istituto Superiore di Studi Musicali "Pietro Mascagni" of Livorno since 1986 and has held master classes in the United States, Mexico, Singapore, Japan, and more.

Spontaneity, expressiveness, imagination have always been distinctive features of the Italian music performing style. "Ever since I first heard Flavio play the guitar I've been a big fan."
