Born in Florence, Renosto was educated at the conservatory of his hometown, where he studied piano and composition.[1] He later became a pupil, a collaborator and a real-life friend of Bruno Maderna, who was the official conductor for the world premieres of two of the most important compositions of Renosto, "Forma op.7" (1968) and "Nacht" (1969).[1] Renosto later dedicated to Maderna's memory the composition "Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra" (1975).[1]
Renosto was author of symphonic, choral, chamber, solo and incidental music compositions.[1] He was also a musical critic and historian, and he collaborated with RAI as creator and host of several radio programs dedicated to contemporary classical music.[1] He also composed, sometimes under the pseudonym Lesiman, theme music for films, TV-programs and documentaries.[1] He died of heart attack.[2] He taught on the faculty of the Bologna Conservatory where one of his pupils was Chiara Benati.[3]
