About

What if Italy told its story through music?
Embark on a musical journey across Italy, from Venice to Naples, from Sicily to the Cinecittà film studios. Vivaldi, Mendelssohn, and Tchaikovsky rub shoulders with traditional Italian music, while Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone evoke the great emotions of cinema.
At the heart of this journey, Christian-Pierre La Marca's cello becomes by turns virtuoso, lyrical, and popular. Fiery tarantellas, great Italian arias, film music, and classical masterpieces: a generous program where Italy reveals itself in all its diversity.
