Leonardo Ciampa (born East Boston, January 17, 1971), is a composer, organist, pianist, and author. Ciampa is the first composer to write significant compositions in a Sicilian genre, most notably Suite Siciliana (Op. 145), for two violins, piano, and chamber orchestra. He has also written a large amount of sacred music. As a pianist Ciampa is best known for his interpretations of Chopin and Lecuona.
Ciampa's recent book, "The Twilight of Belcanto," includes an interview with famed soprano Virginia Zeani.
