Fabio Massimo Capogrosso began studying the piano soon and immediately he 
privaled in several national and international competitions: he won the First Prize at the  "International Competition for young performers" of Cassino and the First Prize at the  "National Competition city of Vasto."

series of scores in particular for documentaries. In 2009, he excelled in the category of  composers at the Ibla Grand Prize Competition.
