Born in Locarno, Switzerland, an eclectic cultural environment with a strong Italian heritage, Fabio Mignola's first love was the accordion. This young man who grew to learn five languages, was fascinated by the intricate harmonies and rhythms of the various forms of folk and classical music that surrounded him. However, it was the simplistic beauty of the acoustic guitar that quickly became the voice of this passionate musician.
After studying for several years with professor Dante Brenna, he graduated from Conservatory Donizetti in Bergamo in 1991. Mignola immersed himself in guitar studies and master classes with virtuosos like Alberto Ponce, Alexandre Rodrigues and Ralph Towner. An eager student, Mignola was inspired by the spontaneity of jazz and the visual complexities of impressionism. As he also continued to master the classical and folk repertoire, Mignola found himself incorporating his diverse artistic experiences into a soundscape rich in textures. This pursuit of music without boundaries led to three solo recordings and many productive partnerships.
