  • It has already been 10 years since Claudio left us. Yet he is still with us, more present than ever through his music, our memories, the friendships he fostered among us. Others will be better suited than us to talk about his career. The articles are swarming at the moment, from the few who really knew him and the many who are simply spending ink on the occasion Can we talk about the man who is always with us, who is our daily companion? No, there is no need to talk, just search our souls, which resonate with his Mahler, his Verdi, all that he gave us, and above all his smile, a knowing smile, sometimes naive, a smile of unspeakable happiness that tenfold the musicians' strength. You left us? Come on, you still live here!
