Carlo Aonzo is one of the most successful and active mandolin players in Italy today. He plays almost everything, from typical Italian mandolin music to classical mandolin music, Bluegrass, Jazz and world music.
He does regularly perform at mandolin festivals. And he is permanently trying to improve the situation of the mandolin in his home country Italy.
He has made some very interesting recordings of works by Italian mandolin players that have emigrated to the USA:
Traversata (with David Grisman and guitarist Bepe Gampetta)
Serenata (with guitarist Bepe Gampetta)
He is teaching around the world, especially in the USA and in Italy where he is directing his International Mandolin Academy:
