Following this experience, he continued his studies in Mumbai and Bubhaneswar at the schools of the legendary flautist Pt. Hariprasad Chaurasia, while in Italy he specialised in Musicology and Musical Heritage at the DAMS in Bologna. Today he still continues to study under his Indian gurus as well as giving concerts in Italy and abroad.

FEDERICO SANESI tabla

Federico Sanesi is an Italian composer and percussionist. He started his studies at an early age under the guidance of the maestros Italo Savoia and Enrico Lucchini. He then continued his classical music studies at the Scuola Civica in Milan under D. Searcy. In 1980 he left for India and in Kolkata he initiated his studies on the tabla with Maestro Pandit Sankha Chatterjee as one of his first European students. Currently he collaborates with the I.I.M.C in Venice, Berlin and Kolkata. His work as a musician regards the integration of diverse cultures, musical and extramusical languages such as theatre, dance, cinema, visual arts and poetry. His conception of art is interdisciplinary and intercultural. He has performed with many renowned musicians in Europe, Africa, Asia, South and North America and India, and has participated in many leading festivals. In 2012, he was nominated for the Global Indian Music Awards 2012 for his album “Dil”, recorded with Shujaat Khan. From 2001 to 2018 he was professor of tabla and Musica d’Insieme at the “Arrigo Pedrollo” Conservatoire in Vicenza, in the Department of Traditional Extra-European Music. He has also taught at the Conservatoires of Alessandria, Cagliari, Milan, Padua, Brescia, Parma, Barcelona and many others.
