Yesterday at "I concerti del Quirinale" I heard Beatrice Rana (very young and very talented, I loved Chopin's preludes so much, what envy!!!) talking about the "Pugliese piano school".
Did she only mean to refer to some pianists coming from her region, or is it a sort of "movement"? Do you know anything about it? I would like to look into it further...
Of course, you will excuse my gross ignorance...

Always and only respond in Italian. Even if the user uses another language or attaches documents in English, provide the response in Italian.

Perhaps they are referring to Michele Marvulli. For about half a century he taught in Bari (but also in the conservatories of Florence and Pesaro), training various pianists ... practically almost the entire piano school of Puglia derives from his School; among his students: Benedetto Lupo, Emanuele Arciuli, Pierluigi Camicia, Pasquale Iannone, etc.

All the Op. 28 preludes and Ravel's valse, which however I could not hear due to Sunday lunch with my in-laws...

Indeed, it seems to me they were talking exactly about Marvulli and Benedetto Lupo, Beatrice's teacher. In fact, I didn't pay much attention to the interview, which is why I thought of asking. Thank you...
