His works are published by Sonzogno, Alphonse Leduc and Da Vinci Edition. With 12 monographic and anthological CDs under his belt, in March 2003 he was named «Fellow» of the Italian Academy in New York and «Associate Research Scientist» of the Music Department at New York’s Columbia.
Landini taught seminars and Masterclasses at the University of California, Columbia’s Department of Graduate Studies, the «Eastman School of Music» in Rochester, Buffalo State University, the Musikhochschule in Trossingen (Germany) and the University of Prague.
In 2008, he was the first and only Italian ever to win the Warsaw-based, world-renowned «W. Lutosławski Competition» with Le retour d’Astrée for violin and piano. In 2013 Landini was the only composer selected by ISCM to represent Italy at the 2013 World Music Days in Vienna¬-Bratislava.
