Biography

Maderna was born in Venice. At the age of four he was taught violin in Chioggia. His grandfather also recognized the child's brilliance. He was known in Italy and abroad as "Brunetto" (Italian for Little Bruno).^[1]

He continued his studies in Milan (1935), Venice (1939) and in Rome (1940). That was where he finally took his degree in composition and musicology at the Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia. At Rome he was instructed by Alessandro Bustini, but he also took a course of instruction from Antonio Guarnieri in Siena in 1941, and he then studied composition with Gian Francesco Malipiero in Venice in 1942/43.^[2]
