Piano Lovers Over 40: Ten Years of Passion for Music

From 2014 to 2024, we celebrated a decade of Piano Lovers Over 40, a project that gave a platform to non-professional pianists over 40, united by their love for music and their desire to perform in prestigious settings.
Conceived by Maria Grazia Rossi Vimercati, the competition offered a unique experience to many musicians, allowing them to share their talent and dedication with a passionate and attentive audience.

For Pilot Italia, supporting this initiative over ten years has meant believing in the value of culture, investing in people, and creating a space where music becomes a place of connection and growth.

A decade of emotion, now told in a book

To commemorate the journey of Piano Lovers Over 40, a book has been published collecting images, stories and memories from this extraordinary experience. A tribute to the pianists, the organizers, and everyone who helped make this project a reference point for music lovers.

A new chapter for Pilot Italia

In 2024, Pilot Italia’s path alongside Piano Lovers Over 40 came to an end — an experience filled with emotion and stories that will continue to resonate.
The project moves forward, while Pilot Italia looks ahead, ready to support new cultural and social initiatives with the same passion and dedication that marked this ten-year collaboration.

“Piano Lovers Over 40 was more than a competition,” said Giancarlo Vimercati, CEO of Pilot Italia. “It was a meeting place for those who love the piano and music. Supporting this project has been a privilege and an opportunity for Pilot Italia to actively contribute to the spread of musical culture. Now, a new chapter begins — and we are ready to continue supporting initiatives that make a difference.”
