WoodBeforeSound
For Susanna Roncallo, the guitar is first wood, then sound — solitude, then encounter. Since 2013, her acoustic guitar has carried a practice built on restraint, silence, and the slow unfolding of a story rather than its performance.
From the Streets of Genoa
Roncallo began playing guitar at eleven, under the guidance of Fabio Veneziani. Long before theatres and festivals, the historic center of Genoa was her first public room — its narrow streets and passing strangers shaped her identity as a busker and taught her that attention must be earned gently.
That grounding runs through everything that followed: an unusually consistent relationship between acoustic sound, silence, landscape, movement, memory, and encounter.
A Decade in Motion
How She's Been Heard
Critics and curators who have written about Susanna Roncallo converge on a consistent portrait: a musician of silence, listening, and quiet intensity, closer to a wandering, people-facing minstrel than a stage entertainer.
An expression that could be delicate and powerful at once.
