Born in Pesaro, Eugenio Della Chiara studied with Giuseppe Ficara at the Conservatoire of his hometown, graduating with honours at the age of 19. He has also been a pupil of Andrea Dieci and of Oscar Ghiglia at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena. The prizes he has been awarded include two scholarships from the Fondazione Rossini. He was the first musician to receive this honour twice, in 2008 and in 2012. While studying music, he completed his classical education at the Università Cattolica of Milan, where he graduated in both Classics and Modern Philology.
He has performed in Japan, Austria, Germany, Hungary, Turkey, Croatia, Spain, Norway, Denmark and Ireland. In Italy, he has given solo recitals for some of the most important musical institutions, such as: Società del Quartetto of Milan, Musica Insieme Bologna, Fondazione Pietà de’ Turchini of Napoli, Festival di Martina Franca e della Valle d’Itria, Società dei Concerti of Parma, Rossini Opera Festival of Pesaro and Orchestra Sinfonica of Milan.
As a soloist, he has been a guest of the Orchestra of the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, of the Orchestra Filarmonica Marchigiana and of the Orchestra Senzaspine. He has worked with conductors such as Diego Ceretta, Jordi Bernàcer, Matteo Parmeggiani and Tohar Gil. As well as works by Rodrigo, Castelnuovo-Tedesco and Moreno Torroba, his repertoire with orchestra includes an ouverture concertante dedicated to him by Carlo Galante and the version for guitar and orchestra of Moreno Torroba’s Sonatina, which he played as an Italian premiere on 13th July 2023 in Palermo.
He has recorded three CDs for DECCA: “Schubert – A portrait on guitar”, with instruments built in Vienna between 1815 and 1840, “Guitarra Clásica”, an anthology of transcriptions from Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven, and “Paganini Live”, a live recording with Piercarlo Sacco. His first vinyl LP – “Eugenio Della Chiara plays” – was produced by the Italian Music Council (CIDIM) and issued by Stradivarius in 2022. 2024 is the year of his first Naxos recording: an album devoted to the complete guitar works of Gaspar Cassadó and Frederic Mompou. In 2025, he releases the complete “Danzas españolas” by Enrique Granados for the same label in a guitar duo version with Pietro Locatto.
He regularly collaborates with composers of different generations (such as Carlo Galante, Orazio Sciortino and Paolo Ugoletti), who have dedicated over twenty solo and chamber works to him. He has various premiere recordings to his credit, notably that of the Guitar Sonata composed in 1976 by Luciano Chailly.
Passionate about chamber music, he plays with violinist Piercarlo Sacco, pianist Alberto Chines and guitarists Andrea Dieci. Together with Pietro Locatto he founded the Azulejos Guitar Duo, a project devoted to Spanish music from the late 19th to mid-20th century. Due to his deep interest in the vocal repertoire, he frequently collaborates with opera singers, notably mezzo-soprano Teresa Iervolino and tenors Juan Francisco Gatell and Mert Süngü. With Alessio Boni, he has conceived “Il resto è silenzio”, a reading of Shakespeare’s Hamlet accompanied by English Seventeenth-century music.
In 2025, his focus on historically informed performance leads him to begin a collaboration with Ensemble Aurora, founded by violinist Enrico Gatti and specialised in eighteenth-century Italian music. At the heart of the project are Luigi Boccherini’s guitar quintets, which he performs on an early nineteenth-century six-course Spanish instrument. Since 2005, he has been the artistic director of “MUN – Music Notes in Pesaro”, a chamber music season organized by the Associazione Marchigiana Attività Teatrali. Starting from 2017, he taught at several Italian Conservatoires: Latina, Modena, Lecce, Genoa, Bergamo and Trieste. After winning a public competition, in 2024 he obtained the full professorship of guitar at the Conservatoire “Lucio Campiani” of Mantua.
