Born in Italy in 1977, Cantalupi grew up in a family of musicians and was exposed to music from a young age. His father was a guitarist and his mother was a singer, and they both encouraged him to pursue music as a career. Cantalupi began playing the guitar at the age of six and quickly showed a natural talent for the instrument. He studied with several renowned guitarists in Italy and eventually went on to study at the Conservatory of Music in Milan. During his time at the conservatory, Cantalupi discovered his love for the lute and began to focus his studies on this instrument. After completing his studies, Cantalupi began performing professionally as a lutenist and guitarist.

In addition to his work as a performer, Cantalupi is also a respected teacher and has taught at several music schools and conservatories around the world.
