Interview
Some questions that are often posed to the pianist after concerts.
◊ What it is the hardest thing for you?
To depend on others, I have always been used to solve any problem by myself.
◊ If you had to spend a holiday where would you go and what would you do?
I would go in a Mediterranean place, I would book every night a fish’s dinner, with the possibility of having
a table in a balcony very close to the sea, with always a lit candle and a red rose waiting for me.
◊ With who would you share these dinners?
With my dad, but because he is physically not there anymore, in every rose there would be his thought.
◊ What is your favorite meal?
Squid cooked with marsala wine
◊ Is there a particular food that you don’t eat?
Yes, pork meat.
◊ Why?
Beacuse I’dont feel it like a ‘clean meat’ and also because it’s fat and it doesn’t have a good taste.
◊ Have you decided to be a pianist?
No it was fate, at the age of six years old I had writed musical melodies without took music lessons. From that moment
my mom sent me to piano lessons.
◊ If you were born again, what would you change in your life?
Nothing, I’m happy with what I have realized, how I was able to impose myself in life, hard, without ever overloading others.
◊ There is a country where you never would you go to play?
Yes, Israel.
◊ Why?
Because is a country where people will not evaluate my pianistic skills, but just my ethnicity. For me all the people are the same, I respect every ethnic and social believes, so I would never go in a country with such characteristics.
◊ How do you feel when the audience applauds you?
A great joy, a sense of gratitude, with the happiness to have sent them my emotions.
◊ As a performer, is there a country where do prefer to play?
No, although in some places I can feel better, I do not make distinctions, I love the universe, and how
all people who love the world I am in connection wherever I go, with myself and with others.
◊ What is success for you?
Reaching up own goals.
