Guest in Good Morning Milano Ingrid Carbone, pianist and university mathematics professor. Her passion for classical music began in her childhood, spent in a home where this genre was always present, and was consolidated at the age of eight, when her parents gave her a piano.

Music and mathematics thus grew side by side, until they intersected. Ingrid explains how music is profoundly linked to mathematics: “Adopting a scientific and geometric vision of the score allows, even from an interpretative standpoint, to achieve a clearer and more informed understanding.”

Her repertoire includes the compositions of Ruggero Leoncavallo, an Italian composer whose entire piano works she has recorded on a double album. His “Notturno,” in particular, has become one of the most popular piano pieces, with over 250,000 views on YouTube. The connection to Leoncavallo is also geographical: the composer spent much of his life in Montalto Uffugo, in the province of Cosenza, a town near Ingrid’s.

Ingrid dedicates herself to musical education through concert-conversations: not actual lessons, but rather meetings in which she engages with the audience, guiding them to discover the invisible bond between music and mathematics.
