Italian pianists Francesco Bravi and Adriano Leonardo Scapicchi regularly perform in duo since 2018. In 2019 they performed Stravinsky's original version for piano four-hands of The Rite of the Spring at Teatro Palladium, for Roma Tre Orchestra Young Artist Piano Solo Series. The success following their performance, described by Christopher Axworthy as “a formidable knotty twine of great precision and rhythmic pulse”, brought them to be invited to many international music festivals, such as Villa Pennisi in Musica, I Tramonti di Tinia, Villa Borghese Piano Day. In 2023 they were awarded the Outstanding Musicians Prize at the International Classical Music Competition Ibla Grand Prize, where they also received a special mention for their interpretation of Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune. As winners of the competition, in 2024 they will take part in a tour in the USA, performing in many important venues including the Weill Recital Hall of the Carnegie Hall. In 2022 they were invited to play Stravinsky's Petrouchka at the Accademia Filarmonica Romana for the presentation of a new edition of Roman Vlad's biography of Stravinsky. The following year they have been invited again for the presentation of the new book written by Francesco Maria Colombo. They performed at several venues, including Università Roma Tre, Reale Circolo Canottieri Tevere Remo, and Pontificio Istituto di Musica Sacra. In 2024 they have been invited to perform in the chamber music concert series Suoni Oltre Confine and at the Pauline Chapel of the Quirinal Palace for the series The Concerts at the Quirinale, live streamed by Radio 3. They took part in masterclasses led by renowned pianists who regularly perform in piano duos, such as Massimo Spada and Alessio Bax. They attend the Chamber Music Course at the International School of Music Avos Project in Rome.
