Fun Fact:

Realizing early in life that piano is not the only thing he is passionate about, Raniero has for decades actively pursued photography, taking countless pictures of concert performances, landscapes, and architecture since 1981.

He was, at one point, aspiring to become an astronaut, alas he never went in space; however, he did retain his keen interest in astronomy. A life-long chef and a gourmand, Raniero is especially particular about not overcooking pasta: al dente is the way, and the only way.
