Francesco Diodovich
Born in Barletta, after graduating with honors from the Niccolò Piccinni Conservatory in Bari, he attended masterclasses with Alirio Diaz, Manuel Barrueco, and, as a scholarship recipient, with Oscar Ghiglia at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena.
At the age of ten, he won First Prize at the Recanati International Competition. Before he graduated, he was unanimously awarded First Prize at the Palma d'Oro International Competition in Finale Ligure and the Mauro Giuliani International Competition in Bari.
In the same year, he won First Prize at the Stresa and Bardolino Flute Duo Competitions. In 1991, he founded the "Joseph Kreutzer" Trio with flute and viola, and in just one year, he won nine first prizes at national and international level, including the Lamezia Terme Prize, the Giambattista Pergolesi Prize in Naples, the Mauro Giuliani Prize in Chivasso, and the prestigious "Francesco Cilea" Prize in Palmi. With the same group, he placed third overall at the "Città di Caltanissetta" International Competition.
He has performed live on television and radio for all three RAI networks and has given numerous concerts both in Italy and abroad.
He currently plays in a duo with cellist Giovanna Buccarella in the "Duo Mateaux”.
