He learned Tango from the major tango masters (Rodolfo Dinzel, Antonio Todaro – for Zotto his style is the real tango – Pepito Avellaneda, Juan Carlos Copes e Maria Nieves, Finito Ramon Rivera, Petroleo Virulazo) and he has the merit of having spread it and teached almost in all the continents. In 1991 He won the “Maria Ruanova Award”, the Argentinian Dance most important prize, yearly granted by “Consejo Argentino de la Danza” (that was the first time this award was granted to the tango).
Miguel Angel Zotto, undisputed star, considered by the experts of the subject “one of the top three tango dancers of the century” together with Copes and Virulazo.

Gianpiero was only 12 when his father (engineer, martial art teacher, and tango lover) involved him in a free project for the youngster to approach tango. He fell in love with tango during his first trip to Buenos Aires when he was only 15 and since then he’s been studying with all the major Maestros. Becomes a teacher the following year and starts performing in Italy and abroad at 18, realizing that he wanted to dedicate his life to tango. Since then, he has had the chance to travel around and perform with lots of great dancers, such as Mila Vigdorova, Corina Herrera, Cesira Miceli, and Nadia Hronidu. Last but not the least, with Maria Filali, with whom he created a flourishing dialogue and a refined lasting project, which has been internationally acclaimed. Tango and his pedagogy are strictly connected to his studies of music, engineering, and bio-mechanic as “a simple and efficient technique, based on natural laws and aware listening, as the key to free the real and intimate spirit of tango”. For more than a decade, he has been developing a thorough didactic and intriguing training method. Moreover, in order to deepen his research, he also graduated in Motor and Sports Activities and Psychomotor Education Science with a dissertation on Functional Training Method for Tango; and in 2019 he became a trainer or Gyrotonic method.

She got immediately passionate about the didactic and the care that is dedicated to the delicate psyche of the amateurs of this complex art. Under Gianpiero’s guide, she undertook her professional path. Meanwhile, she graduated in Motor and Sports Activities and Psychomotor Education Science at the University of Salerno, with a thesis on the pedagogy and educational inclusion of Tango for teenagers. In 2015 she begins studying, teaching, performing, and traveling in partnership with Giovanni Cocomero, with whom she collaborated in many projects led by Gianpiero as Gtango School, the cradle of Tango in Salerno; High School Tango-therapy Project, in high dropout rate schools, teaching teenagers values of social relationships through Tango; Tango at University of Salerno, for getting youngsters acquainted into Tango; Tangere company, the group within they've been training, researching, working, teaching and performing.

They are moved by the research on the analysis of an always more precise and effective didactic method, later just called the Method, and his procedures, with the aim of providing the expressive Art of Tango of a sharp, accurate but also meaningful, deep, and truthful tool of communication."
