Filippo Lattanzi began his study of percussion instruments when he was 6 years old, obtaining a diploma at a very young age with the highest marks and praise. He then went to Paris where he was awarded the gold medal and the Premier Prix de la musique à l'unanimité et félicitations 4 times. In 1998 he was conferred – for the first time ever, by the unanimous decision of the board – the Premier Prix Spécial de Virtuosité en Marimba. During the same period he studied with Michael Rosen, Robert Van Sice and Leigh Howard Stevens.
His activity as an artist has included hundreds of concerts as a soloist (in Italy, Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Turkey, Venezuela and the United States), with which he has combined performances in chamber music, where he plays with the NexTime Ensemble and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir in Vienna, and the Wood Drops Percussion Ensemble (founded by Lattanzi himself).

As a soloist, he has produced approximately ten monographic CD's with DAD RECORDS.
