The Dipthycon Duo is made up of Anna Fiore and Carlo Martiniello and it began its four-hands piano collaboration in 2022, making its debut the same year within the PianoCity Napoli project with a program ranging from the 18th to the 20th century (featuring music by Mozart, Schumann, and Poulenc), enriched by G. Kurtág’s Bach transcriptions for piano four hands.
From the very beginning, the duo undertook the study of four-hands repertoire at the International Academy of Music in Rome under the guidance of Professors K. Bogino and L. Pietrocini, where they continue to refine their artistry. They also attended the chamber music course at the Avos Project Academy under the guidance of M. Montore, as well as masterclasses with A. Lonquich, U. Schneider, and S. Gramaglia at the Naples branch of the “Alessandro Scarlatti” Association.
In 2023 the duo performed in Campagnano di Roma for the Alto Lazio Music Academy and in Colleferro for the “Farandola” Music Association, presenting programs ranging from Mozart to Rachmaninov. In October 2024 they performed as part of the 28th edition of the “Autumn Concerts”, held annually at the Lutheran Church of Naples, with a program dedicated to dances (featuring works by Brahms, Grieg, and Rachmaninov).
They won second prize at the 29th “Giulio Rospigliosi” National Piano Competition (2023) and first prize at the 10th International Piano Competition “Ischia” (2023) and at the “Pietro Argento” International Music Competition (2025).
