MAURO MONTOBBIO

Mauro Montobbio biography
Mauro Montobbio is a multi-instrumentalist originating from Camogli, near Genoa, Italy who plays a variety of different types of guitar, as well as keyboards and synthesizers.

He started playing guitar at age 14, and four years later in 1980 he founded the progressive rock band NARROW PASS with his brother (a vocalist) Guido MONTOBBIO. The band broke up a couple of years later though without releasing an album, and in 1992 Mauro played live for a short while with the Italian progressive rock band ERIS PLUVIA. In 2006 he reformed NARROW PASS, and the band released their debut album "A Room Of Fairy Queen's" that same year. Two further albums followed in 2009 and 2014.

In 2012 Mauro composed and performed on the track "In and Around the Colosseum" for the debut album of Vincenzo RICCA's new venture THE ROME PRO(g)JECT, an album which was released in December of that year. With NARROW PASS currently seeming to be on hiatus again, Mauro has recently involved himself in a variety of other projects, and has released his first solo album Scattered Memories in August 2024 - an album which involved contributions from a number of well known guest musicians and vocalists.
