Agostini was born in Trieste, Italy. After early training with his grandfather, he studied violin at his hometown's conservatory of music, in Trieste, then in Venice, and later at the Accademia Chigiana in Siena. Salvatore Accardo and Franco Gulli were among his teachers. Agostini made his debut as a soloist at the age of 16, playing Mozart under the baton of the late Carlo Zecchi. Ever since he has performed throughout the world as a recitalist, soloist with orchestra and as concertmaster of the Italian ensemble I Musici.
