About

Born in Caserta in 1983 into a family of musicians, Luca started on flute at five, moved to drums and bass, and at fourteen chose the electric guitar.

Almost entirely self-taught, he later studied with Adriano Guarino and Marco Sfogli, and classical guitar with maestro Antonio De Innocentis. He listens to everything from metal to jazz: his references include Biréli Lagrène, Pat Martino, Robben Ford, Frank Gambale, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Brecker, Oscar Peterson and Gary Burton. His trademark is a flowing legato in the service of melodic phrasing.

  1. 2011Plays the FB Jazz Festival in San Giovanni Teatino with the acoustic trio The Dream of Butterfly.
  2. 2014One of the eight finalists of Guitar Idol 4 in London.
  3. 2020Releases Multiversum, his first album.
  4. 2022Joins Eros Ramazzotti's band for the Battito Infinito World Tour.
