Netti began his musical education at a young age, studying piano and composition with his parents. He later went on to study at the Conservatory of Santa Cecilia in Rome, where he received a degree in composition. Netti's early works were heavily influenced by the music of the Second Viennese School, particularly the works of Arnold Schoenberg and Anton Webern. However, he soon began to develop his own unique style, which combined elements of serialism, minimalism, and spectralism. His music is characterized by its intricate textures, rich harmonies, and use of extended techniques. One of Netti's most notable works is his opera "La Malattia del Re" (The King's Illness), which premiered at the Teatro alla Scala in Milan in 2011.

The music is highly expressive and features a wide range of vocal and instrumental techniques. Another significant work by Netti is his "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra," which was premiered by the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia in Rome in 2005. The concerto is notable for its use of extended techniques, such as prepared piano and harmonics, and its complex rhythmic structures. In addition to his work as a composer, Netti is also a respected musicologist and has written extensively on the music of the 20th century. He has published several books and articles on the music of Schoenberg, Webern, and other composers of the Second Viennese School. Netti's music has been performed by some of the world's leading orchestras and ensembles, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the London Symphony Orchestra, and the Ensemble Intercontemporain. He has received numerous awards and honors for his work, including the prestigious Prix Italia in 2011. Overall, Giorgio Netti is a highly respected composer and musicologist who has made significant contributions to the field of contemporary classical music.
