Antonino Fogliani is considered one of the world's leading bel canto conductors today: Musically sensitive, technically brilliant, always interested in living theatre. Born from Messina, he first graduated in piano before studying conducting with Vittorio Parisi at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan. Later he specialised in Siena at the Accademia Chigiana with Franco Donatoni and Ennio Morricone and assisted the conductor Gianluigi Gelmetti in London's Covent Garden with Rossini's Otello.
