[edit]Biography
Born in a simple family, a baker father and a mother merchant, his grandfather Giuseppe Renda, a native of Sicily, was a mandolin player and this passed into David the great love for the music. He began playing guitar at seven years and he has studied with Maurizio Renda and Paolo Bonfanti pursuing this passion since today.
He started working very young as a promoter and tour manager for Italian singers. Among them we count Enrico Ruggeri, Massimo Di Cataldo, Gianluca Grignani, Marco Masini, Massimo Riva, Federico Salvatore, Biagio Antonacci and Eros Ramazzotti. After years of personal and professional satisfactions in the music market, David Guido Pietroni shifted his attention to the movies, trying to combine his passion for the two arts into one single job.
The opportunity to have music and the movies meet arrived thanks to his collaboration with Compay Segundo, protagonist of one of the most important movie and home video music projects of all times: Buena Vista Social Club produced in Cubaby Ry Cooder and directed by Wim Wenders with masterly skill. After exploring for a long time the most important music places of the Caribbean island, David G. Pietroni came back to Italy and devoted him to new artistic languages between music and the movies which will go with him from now on.
In 2002 thanks to the “Arturo Toscanini Foundation” David Guido Pietroni is the producer of Rigoletto, directed by Vittorio Sgarbi and with costumes by Vivienne Westwood. Represented in Piazza del Campo in Siena (Italy) with an audience of thirty two thousand people, Rigoletto is the biggest Italian opera event of that year.
From the live shooting of the show the opera David Guido Pietroni produced the DVD entitled Rigoletto Story. Presented with Quentin Tarantino at the Venice Screenings within the Venice Biennale in 2004, the DVD is distributed worldwide by Columbia TriStar and Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Rigoletto Story has obtained two nominations to the Grammy Awards in the categories “Best Surround Sound” and “Best Long Form Music Video”, having David Guido Pietroni become voting member of the Recording Academy.
He works with the Alderman for Culture of Milan Vittorio Sgarbi, with whom he has been collaborating since 1990. Together with Sgarbi he has planned the season of the Arcimboldi Theater in Milan, the prestigious theater which has hosted the shows of La Scala Theater for three years, during its restoration works.
That year the Arcimboldi Theater became, together with La Scala Theater, the main protagonist of culture and entertainment in Milan. More than 170 shows, a world preview and thirty national first performances, among which the performances of the musical Cats in the original edition by Andrew Lloyd Webber, the Italian debuts of Richard O’Brien’s The Rocky Horror Show, the “Beethoven's Ninth Symphony” conducted by Lorin Maazel and co-produced by the Toscanini Symphonic Orchestra and Peter Stein interpreting a grand text like Faust.
Among the musical events strongly wanted by David Guido Pietroni in the same year in Milan we can count the performances of the rock legends Neil Young and Lou Reed, Tom Waits, Goran Bregović, Paolo Conte and the Lenny Kravitz closing concert at the Arena in Milan.
Once the theater season closed, he starts programming, always with Vittorio Sgarbi, the first edition of MiTo, the International Music Festival of Milan and Turin, one of the most important European musical events. In September 2007 the air of Milan resounds with the seven notes and in less than one month almost 200 concerts are held in the two cities. The first performance takes place in Milan with Zubin Meh
