Luca Falomi is a guitarist, composer and arranger born in Genoa in 1984. He began playing at six, and alongside an academic classical guitar training he developed a parallel interest in sound and musical language that led him to acoustic, electric and ethnic stringed instruments beyond the guitar itself, including the oud. That double training, classical technique paired with an improviser's curiosity, has shaped every project he has led since.

His recording career opened with the solo album Viens Voir (2012, OrangeHome Records), an ensemble session pairing his guitars with cello, oboe, hurdy-gurdy and accordion. Between 2011 and 2013 he also toured as guitarist in "Baccini Canta Tenco," Francesco Baccini's theatrical tribute to songwriter Fabrizio De Andre, a production honored with the Premio Tenco. A second solo album, Sober (2014, Old Mill Records, produced with Marco Canepa), followed; it is documented in Falomi's own biography and in Italian press but is not indexed on Discogs.

Falomi's catalog since 2020 runs through a set of overlapping chamber-jazz projects. Esperanto (2020, Da Vinci Jazz) paired him with double bassist Riccardo Barbera and drummer Rodolfo Cervetto, with guest spots for saxophonist Javier Girotto and accordionist Fausto Beccalossi, plus a small string section of cello, viola and violin; a follow-up, Esperanto Voices, appeared in 2023. In 2021 he formed the trio Naviganti e Sognatori with double bassist Alessandro Turchet and drummer Max Trabucco, releasing a self-titled debut that added bandoneonist Daniele Di Bonaventura as a guest and was named "disco del mese" (album of the month) by the magazine Musica Jazz. That same year he also appeared as one-third of Pagine Vere (2021, Da Vinci Jazz), a trio billed to singer Michela Lombardi, pianist Giovanni Ceccarelli and Falomi himself, with guest turns from double bassist Ferruccio Spinetti and singer Petra Magoni among others.

Naviganti e Sognatori's second album, Mare Aperto (2024, Abeat Records), built on Italian and Mediterranean maritime song traditions, including a Sicilian and a Ligurian folk melody, and again drew a Musica Jazz review; it added vocalist Maria Pia De Vito alongside Di Bonaventura as guests. In 2025 Falomi released Myricae (Abeat Records), a solo-billed album whose title refers to Giovanni Pascoli's poetry collection and whose material draws in part on rediscovered cassette recordings of Falomi's own father; Ceccarelli returns on Fender Rhodes, alongside percussionist Marco Fadda and vocalist Giulia Beatini, with liner notes contributed by trumpeter Paolo Fresu. His most recent recording, ¡Gracia! (2026, Artesuono), is a chamber-jazz trio with Beccalossi and violinist Anais Drago inspired by the poetry of Federico Garcia Lorca.

Alongside his own projects, Falomi has worked as a session and touring guitarist across pop and folk settings, among them singer-songwriters Gino Paoli, Alberto Fortis and Anna Oxa, English singer-songwriter Hannah Scott, and Sardinian singer Franca Masu. He is artistic director of three concert series in Liguria: the Ombre di Jazz Bogliasco Festival, Pieve Jazz and Concerti di Primavera, and has performed in benefit concerts for humanitarian organizations including Emergency, Medici Senza Frontiere (Doctors Without Borders) and the Comunita di Sant'Egidio.

Falomi's music sits at the meeting point of jazz improvisation, Mediterranean and other ethnic musical languages, and his classical training. His working groups favor chamber-scale, largely acoustic instrumentation, guitar alongside double bass and drums on the Naviganti e Sognatori records, guitar, bass and drums plus strings on Esperanto, rather than a conventional quartet or quintet jazz format, and he regularly reaches beyond the standard guitar for baritone, 12-string, fretless and oud textures. Myricae extends that same sensibility into a more explicitly conceptual, almost literary frame, built around a poetry reference and a personal family archive rather than a jazz-standards repertoire.
