Daniele Lombardi (Florence, Italy, 12 August 1946 - 11 March 2018) was an Italian composer, pianist and visual artist.

He has worked extensively on the music of the twentieth-century avant-garde movements, including first modern performances of a large number of compositions of Italian and Russian Futuristic music. His education, in both music and the visual arts, has placed him in the position to incorporate sign, gesture, and sound into a unitary concept of multiple perception, through analogies, contrasts, stratifications, and associations.The drawings, paintings, computer graphics, videos, which he has been producing since 1969, are the results of the trans-codification of musical thought into images, a visualization of energies lying behind the sound itself, as potential becoming.
Lombardi believes visual expression and sound to be inseparably joined and his research ranges between abstract inner visions and the idea of an impact on everyday life, between the ready-made and the mirage.
In 1998 he was the first artist invited by SMAC (Metropolitan System for Contemporary Art) to present his multimedia work for Regione Toscana with exhibitions and concerts: at Prato (Pecci Museum), Pistoia (Fabroni Museum), and Florence (performance of the Two Symphonies for 21 pianos at the Uffizi Courtyard).
