Born in Padua, Italy in 1973, Pedroni showed an early aptitude for music and began studying piano at the age of four. He quickly demonstrated a natural talent for the instrument, and by the time he was a teenager, he had already won several prestigious competitions and performed in major concert halls throughout Europe. Pedroni's musical education continued at the Conservatory of Venice, where he studied under the renowned pianist and pedagogue Franco Scala.

One of Pedroni's most memorable performances came in 2005, when he played Beethoven's Piano Concerto No. 5 with the Berlin Philharmonic under the baton of Sir Simon Rattle. The performance was hailed as a triumph, with critics praising Pedroni's "dazzling technique" and "deeply felt interpretation" of the piece. In addition to his work as a performer, Pedroni is also a dedicated teacher and mentor.
