Lucio Matarazzo studied with E. Caliendo at the Conservatory "Domenico Cimarosa" in Avellino (Italy), where he graduated "summa cum laude". Then he studied with O. Ghiglia, J. Tomas and, for many years, A. Gilardino at the "L. Perosi" Academy.

He played for 20 years as member of the outstanding Fragnito-Matarazzo guitar duo, publishing works by Dodgson, Piazzolla, Castelnuovo-Tedesco, Ruiz-Pipò, Farkas and many CDs. His solo monographic CDs with works by Carcassi, Legnani and Giuliani have had an internationally acclaimed success.

Matarazzo was a founder member of the GuitArt Quartet and premiered works with orchestra dedicated to the ensemble, such as Concierto Italico and Gismontiana by L. Brouwer, Concerto Italiano by A. Gilardino and Concerto Rapsodico by G. Drozd. With the ensemble he recorded some CDs and realized, with L. Brouwer, the DVD video Diario Italico including the world premiere of Concierto Italico, conducted by the author.

He also played for three years with the renowned virtuoso Aniello Desiderio recording a CD for Brilliant Classics with the premiere of Concerto del Sepeithos for two guitars and orchestra and Sonatina for two guitars dedicated to their VirtuosoDuo by A. Gilardino.

He is the founder and director of the online magazine DotGuitar.it and the DotGuitar/CD record label with a catalogue of more than 150 CDs dedicated to guitar.
