Giulio Romano Malaisi's journey into the world of the guitar started at the age of 10 at the Gilfredo Cattolica music academy, where for the next ten years he learnt the classical and electric guitar from his teacher Mariano Gaetani and studied musical theory under the tutelage of Alfredo Sorichetti.
In those 10 formative years, Giulio developed an incredible capacity to communicate with his instrument, creating and honing a unique style, mixing fingerpicking and flatpicking techniques - ultimately obtaining scholarships and achieving acclaim from the local music scene.
It was during this incredible time that his path would allow him to meet the multi-award-winning guitarist, Antonio Forcione.
Forcione was to be one of the most significant inspirations and influences on Giulio, ultimately encouraging Giulio to pursue his career abroad.
