He has performed at major folk events and showcases across Europe, Canada, and the United States, including Folk Alliance International, where he represented contemporary European folk creativity on the global stage. Italian guitarist Jacopo, multi-instrumentalist and composer, is known for his versatility and elegant musicianship. A key figure in the new generation of European folk artists, he is a founding member of Gadan (Celtic-Americana powerhouse group Gadan, mixing Irish trad, bluegrass, and roots),; Ensemble Sangineto; and Lyradanz. With Gadan, Jacopo has toured extensively across the United States, performing at prestigious festivals such as Milwaukee Irish Fest, Dublin Ohio Irish Festival, Iowa Irish Fest, Kansas City Irish Fest, and Musikfest Bethlehem, among others. He has also appeared at the Library of Congress in Washington D.C. with Ensemble Sangineto and has been officially invited to Folk Alliance International as both performer and delegate. His musical identity merges solid acoustic roots with an openness to jazz harmony, Mediterranean phrasing, and a refined sense of arrangement.
