Press Release
In un raffinato incastro spazio-temporale, l’album trae ispirazione da tre luoghi che rappresentano altrettanti periodi di vita, fondamentali nella formazione più intima dell’artista.
L’amata Napoli, città natale, ricca di mare, suoni e colori, è all’origine della sensibilità mediterranea che riaffiora in tutto il disco, e in particolare in The Eyes of Vesuvius.
L’impatto con New York, dove ha vissuto alcuni mesi, ha segnato un passaggio importante del suo percorso artistico. L’incontro con una realtà cosmopolita e ricca di stimoli musicali ha aperto nuovi orizzonti alla sua creatività, dando origine ai brani My Age, Oltre Oceano e On Standby.
Il paesaggio collinare del Chianti, oggi sua terra d’adozione, con i suoi morbidi orizzonti, la luce e i silenzi, ha ulteriormente arricchito il suo bagaglio umano e creativo, donando alla musica una dimensione più intima del tempo. Da qui nascono i brani Sono un gatto e Ballad for Dana.
L’album non tratta questi luoghi in maniera didascalica, ma li accenna attraverso un raffinato linguaggio dall’abilità dei musicisti coinvolti. All’ascoltatore resta la libertà di costruire il proprio immaginario, accompagnato in un poetico viaggio fatto di età, suoni e, soprattutto, emozioni.
“Questa è la mia età. Questa è la musica che ne è nata.”
Francesco Fagiani

ENGLISH
my age is the first album of jazz compositions by guitarist and composer Francesco Fagiani. In a refined interplay of time and place, the album draws inspiration from three locations, each representing a different period in his life and playing a key role in shaping his artistic identity.
Naples—his beloved hometown and the city of his youth—is a place of sea, sound, and color. It is here that the album’s Mediterranean sensibility takes root: a thread that runs throughout the record and comes especially to the fore in The Eyes of Vesuvius.
New York, where Francesco lived for several months, marked a turning point in his artistic path. Immersed in a cosmopolitan city alive with music, he encountered new sounds, new perspectives, and new ways of listening. That experience pushed his creativity in new directions, giving rise to My Age, Oltre Oceano, and On Standby.
The rolling landscape of Chianti, now his adopted home. Its gentle horizons, changing light, and long silences have enriched him both personally and creatively, bringing a more intimate sense of time to his music. From this landscape came Sono un gatto and Ballad for Dana.
Rather than describing these places explicitly, the album evokes them through a nuanced jazz language. The sensitivity and skill of the musicians reveal the music’s compositional elegance. The result is a poetic journey through different eras, sounds, and, above all, emotions—one that leaves the listener free to shape their own imagery.
“This is My Age. This is the music that came from it.”
Francesco Fagiani
THE MUSICIANS
My age brings together musicians whose individual voices shape the album’s musical and poetic character. At its center is composer and jazz guitarist Francesco Fagiani, whose writing is marked by fluid melodies and a distinctly Mediterranean sensibility. Fabrizio Mocata, an innovative voice on the international tango scene and a Latin Grammy 2025 nominee, brings his distinctive pianistic voice to the project. On soprano and tenor saxophones, Stefano Negri represents a longstanding voice in the Florence jazz scene. On double bass, Amedeo Ronga brings a deep grounding in jazz alongside a close connection to traditional and folk music. Gianmarco Scaglia, one of the prominent figures on the Italian jazz bass scene. On drums is Paul Wertico, one of the most respected figures on the international music scene, whose distinguished career includes countless collaborations and seven Grammy Awards. The final track features Argentine harmonica virtuoso Franco Luciani, a leading figure in chromatic harmonica in tango and folk music, who shared the Latin Grammy Award 2025 nomination with Fabrizio Mocata.
