With his poignant compositions Lanfranco Quadrio conveys a deep spectrum of emotional torment around the fragility of the human spirit. Quadrio contemplates Dante’s ‘Inferno’ as the iconic reference point to confront the political and social upheavals that are relentlessly shaking up our contemporary world. Living in Sicily, he experiences first hand the emergency of the wave of migrants fleeing from flagellated countries, too often miserably abandoned to wrestle for survival at the mercy of unforgiving waters.
Lanfranco Quadrio (b. 1966, Lecco, Italy) currently lives and works in Palermo, Italy.
