Filippo is from Vinci in Italy and joined Northern Ballet in 2014. He trained at Teatro alla Scala Ballet School in Milan, St. Carlo Ballet School in Naples, English National Ballet School and the Academy of Northern Ballet’s Graduate Professional Programme.
I was born and raised in Vinci, a little town close to Florence, Italy.
I started dancing quite late at the age of 11.
Teatro alla Scala Ballet School in Milan, St. Carlo Ballet School in Naples, English National Ballet School and the Academy of Northern Ballet’s Graduate Professional Programme.
My favourite roles that I would most like to dance from Northern Ballet’s repertoire are Puck (A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Peter (Peter Pan) and Romeo (Romeo & Juliet).
What I like most about being a dancer is definitely performing for an audience and travelling to cities and theatres around the world. I also love how much an audience can give us when you hear how much they are enjoying themselves whilst watching the show.

Probably pasta or rice.
I would like a good holiday, no longer than a week, in a really sunny place.
If I weren’t a dancer I could probably see myself as a chef. Maybe because I have a passion for food, both making it and eating it.
Filippo is sponsored by Jane & Alan Foale.
