“Umberto is a great artist, he embodies the musician image as it was perceived in the past when it was lived at 360°. Performer, composer, teacher, intellectual, ‘artisan’, creator, each of these qualities being represented at incredible levels, Umberto is not isolated in his world: he is extremely active as well in organizing events, involving children and adults, students and audience. Making music with him is a real sharing experience!”

(Giovanni Sollima, cellist)
