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.

Everyone has something to say and here is my part: Long story short, I've sunk into a deep state of depression over the past few months. The efforts of friends, family, psychiatrists, and even myself to reach through my shroud of cold indifference had all failed. I couldn't find emotion in anything. Then I heard this song. It was the first thing to truly touch me in longer than I care to remember. I cried for 2 hours after the song ended. So thank you for this Mr. Einaudi. You've saved me.

This is what music should be about, music that makes you feel, you can see the passion in his face as he plays and just know that, unlike the majority modern pop musicians, he doesn't give a shit about how much money that piece of music will make him. Musicians that care about the music rather than the money are the true geniuses.

This man is truly a legend, he truly expresses him self with his music. Music is all about feeling and expression and he hits the nail on the head. Amazing!

Ludovico! you can't do that to us Humans. Honestly , he destroys the strongest of men by his music! Tears always stream from my eyes. Even when it's my thousandth time to listen to it. I flashback to all the events of my life. Beautiful is an understatement.Ironically that statement itself cannot describe the beauty in this piece of music...

Two years ago I had never heard of Ludovico, then a friend of mine played this piece for her music exam and I cried. His compositions unveil such say emptions in people. I have never cried after hearing a piano piece until I heard this one
