Mauro Bigonzetti (born 1960, Rome, Italy) is an internationally acclaimed choreographer of contemporary ballet. Bigonzetti trained at the ballet school of Teatro dell'Opera di Roma and entered their company in 1979.[1][2] In 1983 he joined the Reggio Emilia company Aterballetto, renowned for its contemporary repertory.

Bigonzetti began to choreograph first on Aterballetto in 1990. In 1993 he joined Balletto di Toscana as Resident Choreographer and in 1997 returned to Aterballetto as Artistic Director.

Throughout his choreographic career Bigonzetti has maintained a close relationship with Aterballetto. He continues there as Principal Choreographer,[2] although his career now centers on commissions written for major companies abroad.
