[accpane title=“Prof. RENATO SAMUELLI„]
[img style=“frame“ align=“left“]https://akademija.uns.ac.rs/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/renato.jpg[/img]Renato Samuelli is born in Gargnano sul Garda (Brescia, Italy) on 17th February 1963. He studied classical guitar at the Conservatoire Riva del Garda (Trento) under the guidance of Mariano Andreolli, where he graduated with full marks and honours. He perfected his art with Oscar Ghiglia, Ruggero Chiesa, Alberto Ponce and in Vienna with Eliot Fisk. Beside that he took master classes with Andres Segovia at the Conservatoire of Geneva in 1982.
As young artist he affirmed himself at numerous important international competitions starting from the first Special Prize as the youngest and most successful participant at the “F. Sor” competition in Rome in 1980, then at the competition “M. M. Ponce” in Carpentras (France), Music interpretation competition in Gargnano in 1983, “E. Pujol” competition in Sassari in 1986. As crowning of this intense and fruitful study period he wins in 1987 the absolute First Prize at the International music competition of the City of Milan (edition dedicated to H. Villa – Lobos in occasion of the centenary of his birth) that imposes him with public and international critics as refined and precise performer of the guitar repertoire.
These successes led him to perform in different European countries (Slovakia, Hungary, Austria, Germany, France, Switzerland, Spain, Serbia) and in Latin America. At concerts and tours he performs as soloist, but also with chamber ensembles and orchestras.
In 1987 he made his first steps in discography with a monographic disc dedicated to the composer J. Novak and a series of radio registrations which were given at regional radio stations but also at Rai. In 1994 a specialised magazine “Il Fronimo” identifies him as an ideal performer for the discography project dedicated to M. Castelnuovo – Tedesco which has been afterwards carried out by registering for the first time the works “Appunti” (label Rivo Alto-Venezia). In 2005 he participated in two discography projects: CD soundtrack of the Rai television film “Invisible life” (also on DVD) with the music of Domenico Clapasson and CD “Wedding songs” by texts of Father David M. Turoldo and San Giovanni della Croce, music composed by Domenico Clapasson.
Research of original XVIII century repertoire and continuous stylistic studies stimulated him to use instruments from that period for a discography project dedicated to the complete opus “Rossiniane” by Mauro Giuliani.
He is currently leading the Chair for Classical Guitar at the Conservatoire “F. E. Dall’ Abaco” in Verona.
