Chiacchiaretta honed his skills under maestros such as Max and Christiane Bonnay, Vladimir Zubitsky, and Mogens Ellegaard1. He has performed as a soloist and in chamber music ensembles in Italy and abroad, including in France, Russia, Hungary, and Germany. Chiacchiaretta has won prizes at national and international competitions for soloists and chamber music ensembles, including first prize at the “Città di Castelfidardo” international competition in 19931.

Since its creation, he has been a member of the accordion quartet Accord’Ance, performing in concerts and achieving success in international competitions.
