Pina Napolitano, born in Caserta, Italy, is a classical pianist who began studying piano at age four with Guisi Ambrifi. She later earned master's degrees in piano performance and in 20th-century piano music under Bruno Mezzena at the Music Academy of Pescara, as well as a Ph.D. in Foreign Languages and Literature from the Second University of Rome for her thesis on Osip Mandelstam's poetry. Napolitano has performed extensively across Europe, Russia, and the United States, both in solo recitals and with orchestras. She has recorded several albums, including Brahms the Progressive (2018) and its sequel (2022), which pair late works of Brahms with compositions from the Second Viennese School. Additionally, she has also released Tempo e Tempi, featuring music by Elliott Carter and Jeffrey Mumford alongside Beethoven. She has taught at the Conservatorio Giuseppe Tartini in Trieste.
