Fabrizio Brua

While growing up in northern Italy in the town of Biella, Fabrizio Brua studied

piano at the Lorenzo Perosi Conservatory of Music. Never completely convinced

by traditional western methods for studying and performing music, Brua began

to follow his own musical path.

Under the guidance of a Jesuit priest, Frate Cappelletto, Brua began a spiritual

journey that lead him to India. There he discovered classical Indian music and

the sitar. Since 1991 he has studied classical

Indian music under the tutelage of the Italian sitar master, Gianni Ricchizzi, in

Assisi Italy; and with Pandit Amarnath Mishra in Varanasi, India
