Aquiles Delle Vigne wrote about him: “Luca has an enormous musical sense and develops his Art with great convintion. His repertoire and his Love follow the steps of the great names of the Piano. He is a Poet and, in the same time, a lion of the piano.” In the well known “Mozarteum Universität” of Salzburg he debuted in the “Wiener Saal” and performed the complete execution of the Chopin’s Etudes op.10. Delle Donne has performed throughout Europe and went on tour several times in China and Japan chiefly in solo recitals but also in several chamber ensembles and with orchestras: from 2010 he continues to give recitals and concert-lessons dedicated to Beethoven.
