From a young age, Quagliarini showed a natural talent for music and began studying piano and composition at the age of six. Quagliarini's early musical education was heavily influenced by the classical music tradition of his native Italy. He studied at the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome, where he received a solid foundation in music theory and composition. During this time, he also began to explore other musical genres, including jazz and rock, which would later influence his own compositions. After completing his studies at the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia, Quagliarini continued his musical education in the United States. He attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston, where he studied jazz composition and performance. This experience broadened his musical horizons and gave him a new perspective on composition.

He draws inspiration from a wide range of musical styles and genres, including classical, jazz, rock, and world music. His works often feature intricate harmonies and rhythms, as well as unconventional instrumentation.

The piece has been praised for its innovative use of harmony and rhythm, as well as its ability to evoke a wide range of emotions in the listener. Another highlight of Quagliarini's career is his collaboration with the Italian jazz pianist Stefano Bollani. The two musicians worked together on the album "Stone in the Water," which was released in 2010. The album features Quagliarini's compositions, which are performed by Bollani and a group of top-notch jazz musicians. The album received critical acclaim and helped to establish Quagliarini as a major force in the contemporary classical music scene.
