Vanessa Bernardi

In October 2023, Vanessa Bernardi will obtain her two-year second-level diploma in classical guitar at the A. Buzzolla Conservatory in Adria under the guidance of Maestro Giulio Tampalini. This follows her achievement of a three-year first-level diploma with the highest grades and honours in October 2021. That same year, she also earned a bachelor's degree in History and Protection of Musical Artistic Heritage from the University of Padua (thesis title: "Music in the Time of Covid-19: Musical Initiatives and Distance Education"). Vanessa began studying classical guitar at the age of ten at the Scuola Musicale C. Moser in Pergine Valsugana and continued her education at the Liceo Musicale in Trento and the ‘F.A. Bonporti’ Conservatory in the same city, under the guidance of Norma Lutzemberger. During her artistic training, she participated in several masterclasses with internationally renowned masters such as Adriano del Sal, Christian Saggese, Andrea Dieci, Emanuele Segre, Ricardo Barcelò, Anabel Montesinos, Luigi Attademo, Lorenzo Micheli, Matteo Mela, Marco Ramelli, Giacomo Susani, Gabriel Bianco, Alexandra Whittingham, Irina Kulikova, Marco Tamayo, and Lucia Pizzutel. With the latter, she successfully completed the guitar workshop "Methodological Pills" related to instrumental teaching themes. She has ranked in top positions in guitar interpretation contests both as a trio and solo performer. Notable contests include the "Cesare Lutzemberger" competition in Treviso, the "Val di Sole" competition, and the Guitar Master Lago D' Orta where she received a special prize. Recently, she won the "La tua idea" project competition sponsored by the Adria conservatory, allowing her to record two albums dedicated to Spanish and Russian repertoires both as a soloist and in a guitar duo with the record label “Movimento Classical”. She has performed as both a soloist and in duos at numerous concerts and prestigious venues, including Villa Roberti, the Filarmonico Theater in Piove di Sacco, Milan Cathedral, the International Guitar Festival of the A. Buzzolla Conservatory in Adria, and the Gaetano Marziali Academy in Seveso, among others.
