    In 2009 Antonio suffered a neuronal illness  known as focal dystonia which took him eight years to completely  recover from. This sickness (sometimes denominated as the cancer of the musicians) helped him to understand pedagogy from another point of view, and experience the relationship with the instrument and the activity as a musician from a really privilege position.
