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."
The union of a certain musical and cultural vibrancy combined with a growing spirit of experimentation, led him to undertake the study of the composition.
Under the guidance of Maestro Sergio Prodigo, in 2008 he obtained the first academic degree cum laude; meanwhile, he was also interested in other musical languages and thus he studied "music applied to images," during "Copia l’autore" held by the famous Maestro Carlo Crivelli (winner at Cannes for best soundtrack with Marco Bellocchio's Vincere) and he operated at a
series of scores in particular for documentaries. In 2009, he excelled in the category of composers at the Ibla Grand Prize Competition.
