Marcello Trinchero, born in 1995, began his musical studies at an early age under the guidance of Maestro Alberto Mandarini.

Since 2015, he has continued his education with Gabriele Cassone in the Renaissance and Baroque trumpet class at the “G. Cantelli” Conservatory in Novara, graduating first in 2018 and again in 2020, both times with top marks and honors. He has attended advanced training courses with Alfredo Bernardini, Corrado Colliard, Igino Conforzi, Ermes Giussani, Fruzsina Hara, Andreas Lackner, Jean-François Madeuf, Luca Marzana, Evangelina Mascardi, Jonathan Pia, and Edward H. Tarr.
He collaborates with numerous theaters, radio, recording, and television organizations (including: Rai 1, Rai Sport, Rai Radio 3, NPO Radio4, Euro Radio, Sky Classica, and Mezzo), symphony and early music orchestras (including: Ensemble Zefiro, Accademia Bizantina, Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano, LaBarocca, Montis Regalis, Collegio Ghislieri, EUBO, Les Ambassadeurs ~ La Grande Écurie e gli Originali) with whom he participates in many festivals and concerts in major European cities, conducted by renowned conductors such as Giovanni Antonini, Rinaldo Alessandrini, Alfredo Bernardini, Ottavio Dantone, Alexis Kossenko, Stefano Montanari e George Petrou.
In 2018, he won the position of principal trumpet at the Theresia Orchestra, which brings together young talents from around the world specializing in period instruments and historically informed performance.
In 2022, he founded the ensemble I CONTRAPPUNTISTI, dedicating himself to the rediscovery of unpublished works from the Baroque period, curating their first modern performances on historical instruments.
In 2023, he published with Martin Schmid Antonio Lucio Vivaldi – Complete Trumpet Repertoire, the first complete musicological publication on the Red Priest’s trumpet works.
He is also active as a conductor, composer, teacher, and arranger: some of his arrangements have been used by Gabriele Cassone in his solo concerts with orchestra.
