Trained at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, Einaudi began his career as a classical composer, later incorporating other styles and genres such as pop, rock, folk, and world music.
Einaudi has composed the scores for a number of films and television productions, including This Is England, The Intouchables, I'm Still Here, the TV miniseries Doctor Zhivago, and Acquario (1996), for which he won the Grolla d'oro. His music was used as the score for the Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning films Nomadland and The Father.
He has also released a number of solo albums for piano and other instruments, notably I Giorni in 2001, Nightbook in 2009, and In a Time Lapse in 2013. On 1 March 2019, Einaudi announced a seven-part project named Seven Days Walking, which was released over the course of seven months in 2019.
In 2005, he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.
Einaudi was born in Turin, Piedmont. His father, Giulio Einaudi, was a publisher working with authors including Italo Calvino and Primo Levi, and founder of Giulio Einaudi Editore, while his paternal grandfather, Luigi Einaudi, was President of Italy between 1948 and 1955. His mother, Renata Aldrovandi, played the piano to him as a child. Her father, Waldo Aldrovandi, was a pianist, opera conductor, and composer who emigrated to Australia after World War II.
Einaudi started composing his own music as a teenager, first writing by playing a folk guitar. He began his musical training at the Conservatorio Verdi in Milan, obtaining a diploma in composition in 1982. That same year he took an orchestration class taught by Luciano Berio and was awarded a scholarship to the Tanglewood Music Festival. According to Einaudi, "[Luciano Berio] did some interesting work with African vocal music and did some arrangements of Beatles songs, and he taught me that there is a sort of dignity inside music. I learnt orchestration from him and a very open way of thinking about music." He also learned by collaborating with musicians such as Ballaké Sissoko from Mali and Djivan Gasparyan from Armenia. His music is ambient, meditative, and often introspective, drawing on minimalism and contemporary pop.

I used to hate my name, but now that I know Einaudi has a song called Julia I feel so honored.

@Lady Meg Henderson It's a very pretty name. As it's Margaret.
This is off topic (i never know how to introduce tangents), but i remember texting my family one time via group chat. I was mostly talking to myself and mentioned that I'd listen this particular piano piece that was able to articulate such nuanced emotions that it left me wanting. i wished that i was able to communicate my thoughts and emotions with such subtlety and grace.
One of my little sisters asked what the song was called, but i dislike taking advantage of people's natural hospitality and i assumed she was just asking to be polite. I had purposefully left it out because i didn't want them to feel in any way pressured to partake in my nonsense. So made a joke and changed topics. Still, i was slightly bemused because, just like the piece, her name is also Julia.

A Julia is the most amazing person ever! She will always be there for you when you need her. She tends to have 'blonde moments' but that's why you love her. She might be shy when you first meet her but once you get to know her she is a fun, crazy, loving person. She will make a great girlfriend. A Julia is sweet and drop dead gorgeous!! Like BEAUTIFUL(: She is crazy about one guy. And loves all of her friends. A Julia knows how to cheer someone up when they are sad. She knows all the right things to say. You should always go to a Julia if you need anything! A Julia is usually tall. And is very athletic. All the girls wish they were her. A Julia also has schwaag. And is very smart. A Julia is very fun to be around and will always make you smile(: Even the first time you meet a Julia you will love her. A Julia is just perff in her own way and listens to no one but her self. She knows right from wrong. And is just the definition of AMAZING! Make sure you never lose a Julia, they are a one of a kind(:
