Monti began playing electric guitar in famous pop Italian groups and after his “rock experience” began to study classical guitar. In 1983 he completed his formal studies in music at the L. Cherubini Conservatory at Florence obtaining the diploma with the highest marks and honour. Extensive touring of the Orient has greatly influenced Alessio’s style and his research of Eastern philosophy leaves an indelible mark on the composer’s consciousness and music explorations. His style is extremely innovative and will be of great interest to lovers of many genres, from minimalist to jazz, to Eastern and Western classical traditions.
