History

The contest was founded by Gina Gambini, widow of the Italian pianist, Ettore Pozzoli, wishing to honour the memory of her husband by giving musicians from all over the world an opportunity to show their artistic skills. Up to now, more than 1.500 pianists coming from all over the world have participated in the 25 editions of the competition that has taken place in the city in northern Italy. In 1959, the first pianist to win the International Ettore Pozzoli Piano Competition was Maurizio Pollini. The last edition (XXVI°) took place in September 2009, celebrating the 50th year of the Competition foundation and was won by young American pianist Christopher Falzone.
