Alessio Bidoli (Milan, 1986) began studying the violin at the age of seven. In 2006 he graduated with highest honors from the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory in Milan under the guidance of Gigino Maestri. He subsequently continued his advanced studies at the Haute École de Musique of the Lausanne Conservatory and at the Mozarteum in Salzburg with Pierre Amoyal, at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena with Salvatore Accardo, and at the Accademia Internazionale di Imola with Pavel Berman and Oleksandr Semchuk.

At the age of seventeen, he made his solo debut at the Teatro Signorelli in Cortona. In 2005 he was among the prizewinners of the Rassegna Nazionale d’Archi in Vittorio Veneto. In 2007, as the only Italian member, he collaborated with the Lausanne Camerata, conducted by Pierre Amoyal, performing in several European cities, including Martigny (Fondation Pierre Gianadda), Milan (Società dei Concerti) and Marseille (Festival de Musique à Saint-Victor). As a soloist, he has performed in Italy and abroad at major venues including the Sala Verdi of the Milan Conservatory, the Politeama Garibaldi in Palermo, the Auditorium Arvedi in Cremona, Carnegie Hall in New York and the Musikverein in Vienna, as well as for prestigious concert series and festivals such as MITO SettembreMusica, Società del Quartetto, Società dei Concerti, Serate Musicali di Milano, Furcht–Università Bocconi, Amici del Loggione del Teatro alla Scala, Fondazione Musica Insieme in Bologna, Associazione Siciliana Amici della Musica, Accademia Filarmonica di Messina, Amici della Musica in Foligno, Udine and Sondalo, Festival Paganiniano di Carro, Levanto Music Festival Amfiteatrof and AMA Calabria. Abroad, he has given recitals throughout Europe (Austria, Denmark, Germany, Luxembourg, Latvia, the Netherlands and Spain), as well as in Russia, the United States and Thailand. In 2015, at the Teatro di Chiasso in Switzerland, he appeared alongside Vittorio Sgarbi in the theatrical project Il Fin La Maraviglia, a journey through the Baroque told through images and music.

In 2011 he recorded a CD with pianist Stefania Mormone for Amadeus magazine, later reissued in 2021 by Da Vinci Classics. From 2013 onward he developed an intensive recording collaboration with pianist Bruno Canino, with whom he recorded seven albums: Verdi Fantasias, featuring paraphrases of Verdi operas by Camillo Sivori and Antonio Bazzini (Sony Classical, 2013; reissued by Concerto Classics in 2019); Italian Soul – Anima Italiana, devoted to works from the first half of the twentieth century (Sony Classical, 2016), which received recognition at the Global Music Awards; a recital featuring Stravinsky’s Suite italienne alongside contemporary French works (Warner Classics, 2017); the complete Sonatas for Violin and Piano by Saint-Saëns (Warner Classics, 2018); an album devoted to Nino Rota’s chamber music (Decca, 2020), with Massimo Mercelli on flute, also selected among the finest international recordings at the 2021 Global Music Awards; a recording of the chamber works of Portuguese composer Luís de Freitas Branco (Sony Classical, 2022), with cellist Alain Meunier; and the complete three Sonatas for Violin and Piano by Johannes Brahms (Warner Classics, 2025).

He has been featured in numerous programmes devoted to his work by Italian and international radio broadcasters, including RAI Radio 3, Radio 24, Vatican Radio, Radio Classica, Radio Popolare, Radio Marconi, Radio France, NDR Kultur, Radio Bremen and Radio Svizzera Italiana. For several years he taught at the Conservatories of Reggio Calabria and Bari. He currently holds the Chair of Violin at the Guido Cantelli Conservatory in Novara and regularly gives masterclasses in violin and chamber music in various Italian cities. Alongside his concert and teaching activities, he has for several years served as Artistic Director of prestigious music festivals and concert series, including Musica in Corte in Crema, Villaflori Classica in Como, Bramante Classica in Milan and New York Classica in Manhattan.

Since 2025, he has also coordinated the artistic activities of the Associazione Dante Regazzoni ETS, dedicated to the memory of Dante Regazzoni and to preserving and promoting the musical, artistic and artisanal heritage associated with his legacy. He plays one of the instruments made by his grandfather in the late 1950s in his workshop in Cortenova, Valsassina. The workshop has since been reconstructed and now forms an integral part of the Museo della Liuteria (MUSA) at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in the Parco della Musica in Rome. He alternates this instrument with a 1902 Stefano Scarampella violin.
