Luca Negroni

He graduated from “La Scaletta” led by Giovanbattista Diotaiuti, where his teachers included Antonio Pierfederici and Orazio Costa. He attended theatre courses at “Drammastudio” in Milan held by Enrico D’Alessandro.

In 1990, he made his theater debut with “Les enfants terribles” by J. Cocteau. Since then, he has worked on many theatrical productions, (from Les Misérables and Lucrezia Borgia by V. Hugo, to A Midsummer Night's Dream by W. Shakespeare, to the recent Poliziano by E.A. Poe), and collaborated with actors and directors (P. Leroy, F. Benedetti, G. Fortebraccio, A. Martino, A. Mazzamauro, A.Salines, A. Innocenti, N. Mascia, L. Poli, C. Alighiero). After many years with the Cotta - Alighiero company, where he participated in almost all productions both as an actor and later also as an assistant director, and with the Teatro Artigiano company, he has been touring since 2003 with L. De Filippo. He also participated as an actor in some film and television productions, working with directors L. Casadio, A. Longhi, R. Pacini, N. Molino, T. Del Colle, and F. Gastaldo.

He has also worked as an assistant director in many shows, an experience that in recent years has led to his first directing roles for shows such as "The Mystery of the Missing Book” inspired by commedia dell'arte scripts, "La Pupilla" by C. Goldoni, “The Clouds” by Aristophanes “Gaia, the Middle Earth” with actress S. Ventura.

Alongside his commitment to theater as an actor and director, he has deepened his study of the Commedia dell'Arte, participating in numerous shows and festivals in Italy and abroad, and has been involved for several years in teaching activities, holding seminars at many theater schools including that of master G. Diotaiuti, the Artès school by E. Brignano, the Sharoff, the Parioli Academy, and at the Accademia Arte nel cuore which focuses on training professionals in theater, music, and dance among people with disabilities.

He teaches at the post-diploma professional courses for Actor and Assistant Director at the International Academy of Theatre since the academic year 2009/2010.
