Daniele loves modern classical composers with popular background like the spanish Federico Moreno Torroba, the brasilian Heitor Villa Lobos and the mexican Manuel Maria Ponce. These composers wrote hundreds of solo, chamber and orchestral (concertos) guitar works. Often he plays south-american repertoires with authors like Agustin Barrios Mangoré, Antonio Lauro, Astor Piazzolla, Ernesto Cordero, Leo Brouwer and others. But he is also interested in baroque music and authors like Silvius Leopold Weiss and Johann Sebastian Bach. In classical and romantic repertoire, he prefers the wide chamber music repertoire for guitar ensemble or guitar and flute, violin or singing.
