Giancarlo Grande, winner of the First Absolute Prize at the XIII A. Baldi 2024 Competition (category F), a 24-year-old Calabrian pianist, a former child prodigy, is now considered one of the most promising talents in Italian pianism. Born in Castrovillari (CZ) in 2006, a former student of his mother Maria Limonti, Grande obtained his first-level academic diploma with 110 cum laude and an honorable mention, and is now attending the first year of the two-year piano program in the class of Maestro Rodolfo Rubino, at the "S. Giacomantonio" Conservatory in Cosenza, and has attended master classes with Boris Bekhterev, Dimitri Alexeev, and Herta Hansena. Winner of many international piano competitions (Luciani in Cosenza, Città di Corigliano, Mahler in Trebbisacce, Città di Spoleto, Calabria Piano Competition, V. Scaramuzza in Crotone), in 2024 he won the XVIII Edition of the Premio delle Arti.
