Salvadori's early musical education was primarily focused on the piano, and he studied under several renowned pianists in Italy. However, he soon began to explore other areas of music, including composition. He began composing his own music at the age of 12 and quickly developed a talent for it. His early compositions were heavily influenced by the classical music he had grown up listening to, but he also incorporated elements of jazz and other genres into his work. Salvadori's musical education continued at the Conservatory of Florence, where he studied piano and composition. He also studied under several prominent composers, including Fabio Vacchi and Salvatore Sciarrino. During his time at the conservatory, Salvadori began to develop his own unique style of composition, which blended classical and contemporary elements.

He also wrote several orchestral works, including a symphony and a concerto for piano and orchestra. One of Salvadori's most notable works is his Piano Concerto No. 1, which he composed in 2009. The concerto is a virtuosic showcase for the soloist, with intricate piano passages and complex rhythms. The piece also features lush orchestration, with the orchestra providing a rich and colorful backdrop for the soloist. The concerto has been performed by several prominent pianists, including Alessandro Taverna and Roberto Prosseda. Salvadori's music has been praised for its emotional depth and technical virtuosity. His compositions often explore complex themes and ideas, and he is known for his ability to create intricate musical structures that are both intellectually stimulating and emotionally engaging. In addition to his work as a composer, Salvadori is also an accomplished pianist. He has performed extensively throughout Italy and Europe, both as a soloist and as a chamber musician. He is known for his expressive and nuanced playing, and his performances have been praised for their musicality and technical precision. Salvadori's music has been performed by several prominent orchestras and ensembles, including the Orchestra della Toscana, the Orchestra Sinfonica di Milano Giuseppe Verdi, and the Ensemble Intercontemporain. His compositions have also been featured at several international music festivals, including the Venice Biennale and the Festival dei Due Mondi in Spoleto. Despite his relatively young age, Salvadori has already established himself as one of the most promising composers of his generation. His music is characterized by its technical virtuosity, emotional depth, and intellectual rigor, and he is widely regarded as one of the most exciting voices in contemporary classical music.
