Curriculum
Francesco Iannitti Piromallo is a composer, arranger, pianist, organist, and choral and orchestral conductor. He completed his musical studies at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome, where he graduated in Composition (under Teresa Procaccini) and Choral Conducting (under Monsignor Valentino Miserachs), and subsequently earned a diploma in Piano from the “Licinio Refice” Conservatory in Frosinone. He further refined his studies in composition and choral conducting with internationally renowned teachers. Throughout his education and artistic career, his mentor, Monsignor Valentino Miserachs—distinguished musician and composer—repeatedly described him as a great musician.
For many years, he has pursued an extensive artistic and professional career in Italy and abroad. As a composer, he has written hundreds of works ranging from solo, chamber, and symphonic music to sacred music, choral repertoire, and applied music for theatre, film, and media. His compositions are regularly performed and broadcast in concert, radio, and television contexts, and featured in documentaries and cultural programs by national and international networks.
Among his most significant works are concertos for solo instrument and orchestra (for piano, guitar, and flute), symphonic poems, oratorios, masses, and an extensive chamber repertoire. He composed the Concerto for Guitar and Orchestra in A major, dedicated to internationally renowned guitarist Fabio Montomoli and performed in Italy and abroad; the Double Concerto “Two Souls” for flute, piano, and orchestra, dedicated to Jana Hildebrandt and Monica Jiménez Calvo, premiered in Germany in 2021; and the symphonic tale “Un pomeriggio, Adamo” based on a text by Italo Calvino, premiered on 15 October 2023 at the Museo Canonica of Villa Borghese in Rome, in an event promoted by Roma Capitale and the Capitoline Superintendence for Cultural Heritage.
In 2013, he composed “Tu es Petrus” on commission, performed at St. Peter’s Basilica on the occasion of the enthronement of Pope Francis. For the 150th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Italy and Japan, he wrote “Echi Mediterranei”, performed in Tokyo at the Italian Cultural Institute. In 2018, he appeared in Tokyo as pianist and composer at the prestigious Arts Center Wind Hall and, in the same year, undertook a tour in Spain for the presentation of the monographic CD “Mediterranea.” He has also participated in international musical projects in Luxembourg, performing in productions supported by the Ministry of Culture of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, setting to music texts by writer and journalist Daniela Sacchi from the volume “La città e gli altri luoghi,” in collaboration with Luxembourgish composer Camille Kerger.
He has given concerts in prestigious Italian and international venues, including in Rome at the basilicas of Santa Agnese in Agone, Sant’Ignazio di Loyola, and Santa Chiara, as well as in numerous high-profile institutional contexts.
Alongside his compositional output, he maintains a significant career as orchestral and choral conductor, pianist, and organist, with over 600 concerts in Italy and abroad. During important musical engagements in Rome, within institutional contexts linked to the Pontifical Institute of Sacred Music and St. Peter’s Basilica, he was invited by Monsignor Pablo Colino, then Maestro di Cappella of the Vatican Basilica. On those occasions, contemporary music critics highlighted his profound poetic understanding of the scores and his ability to convey their most authentic expressive character. A review published in Scena Illustrata, an authoritative cultural and music journal active until the early 2000s, emphasized the quality of his conducting and the communicative effectiveness of his interpretative gesture.
He is also deeply involved in musical theatre and theatrical readings, for which he has composed original music dedicated to texts by Dante Alighieri, Giacomo Leopardi, Carlo Collodi, and Italo Calvino. In this field, he creates performances that combine music and narration, including “Novecento – The Legend of the Pianist on the Ocean,” featuring a repertoire dedicated to the music of Ennio Morricone, which he regularly performs in monographic concerts.
He regularly performs as an accompanist for opera singers, collaborating in recitals and concerts with artists from the operatic scene, including the renowned soprano Paola Francesca Natale.
He has received numerous awards, including First Prize at the By Bess Composition Competition (1997), Third Prize at the International Competition “Musica e Cinema – Lavagnino 2012,” chaired by Louis Bacalov and Nicola Piovani, and the Trofeo alla Musica – Città di Bari, an international recognition for artistic merit.
He is actively engaged in teaching as a professor of piano, harmony, and composition, and is committed to musical education at various levels. Since 2019, he has served as Artistic Director of the Cultural Association Musica & Vita APS, promoting concert, educational, and music outreach projects.

Publications
In 2006 the CD 'La Natività' was come out, an oratory for solos, choir and orchestra, recorded with the Choral 'G. Puccini” of Grosseto and the choir of Voici Bianche of the Middle School “Leonardo da Vinci” of Grosseto.
In 2016 the CD 'Mediterraea - Guitar Works', recorded and produced by SAM recording studio (Lari, Pisa) and Live Art (Follonica, Grosseto), was released, under the skilful care of Mirco Mencacci. This CD combines the author's undoubted technical capabilities with a deep sensitivity, giving life to romantic sounds that are declined in typically Mediterranean accents, which reveal the vibrant spirit of the author, sounds made even more alive and emphasised by the taste and maturity of language of the performers.
