Rodolfo Bonucci is born in a family of musicians and among his teachers were Salvatore Accardo, Henryk Szering and Arthur Grumiaux, with whom he spent a long time studying in Belgium. Mr. Bonucci won the 13th "Città di Vittorio Veneto" violin competition and was awarded in many other international events such as the Paganini competition in Genoa and the Bach competition in Leipzig. At the age of seventeen he was invited to join ensembles such as the Virtuosi di Roma and I Musici - with these he toured the US and several european countries as a leading soloist.

He has performed with the greatest orchestras and in the main auditoriums in Italy (Santa Cecilia, RAI, Orchestra Scarlatti di Napoli, Arena di Verona, Filarmonica Romana, etc.) and abroad (Berlin and Frankfurt Festivals, concerts in Spain, Portugal, France, Switzerland, Finland, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Venezuela and Mexico). He has played in duo with Bruno Canino, Jörg Demus, Gyorgy Sandor and others.

He won the "Gonfalone d'Oro" award in 1992. In 1990 he had his US debut with two concerts at the Carnegie Hall in New York: with the pianist Gyorgy Sandor and Respighi's concerto. He performed the US première of Fauré's Concerto in New York and held recitals in San Francisco and other cities. In 1993/94 he played Beethoven's 10 Sonatas in Detroit, San Francisco and New York. We also owe him the re-discovery, disclosure and world's first CD recording of Fauré's violin concerto and Domenico Scarlatti's sonatas for violin and harpsichord (with Bruno Canino). He also recorded on CD Locatelli's L'arte del Violino (four Cds with the Chamber Orchestra of Santa Cecilia), as well as chamber music by italian composers, specially, with Canino, works by Dallapiccola. In recent years Mr. Bonucci has started a parallel activity as conductor.

He has conducted many orchestras among which the Chamber Orchestra of Santa Cecilia, the Budapest Opera Orchestra, the Pomeriggi Musicali di Milano, the Bilkent University Orchestra of Ankara, the Istambul Philarmonic Orchestra, the Yvaskyla Symphonic Orchestra, the Salzburg Chamber Soloists. With the latter ensemble he toured the US and Canada in 1991 as conductor and soloist. He is steady guest of the Symphonic Orchestras of Brasilia and Bahia. After a long-lasting cooperation with the Filarmonici di Bologna, Bonucci recently created the Solisti di Bologna ensemble, which has already been welcomed by audiences and critics in Italy and abroad. The Solisti di Bologna concert season has Mr. Bonucci himself as Artistic Supervisor and many famous soloists as Menhuin, Pogorelich, van Asperen, Canino, Leonhardt, Sandor, Yepes and Bream have joined it.
