“I heard Federico playing for the first time at the Massimo Urbani Prize 2017 in Camerino, where I was invited as President of the jury with Kurt Rosenwinkel.
As I heard his first notes I thought ‘nobody could possibly win but him’. And it happened. I was impressed by his lucidity while playing and the confidence on the stage.I soon noticed his excellent technique and if you add it to a natural musicality there you have a musician, even if very young, gifted and complete on every front. With his album the artist also proves to be a good composer: in his records there’s a clear link to the greatest jazz musicians but with a deep contemporary vein”.
