Capriccio Italiano Festival: 'Fantasia Italica'

About the Event

The project was born with the aim of bringing together some of the most important themes of the Italian operatic tradition (Giuseppe Verdi and Gioacchino Rossini) within a musical performance, excellently translated onto the guitar by J. Arcas and M. Giuliani, contracts of virtuosity and romanticism, (typical and always present in the music of Niccolò Paganini and Giulio Regondi).

Travel back in time with talentuous artists as they perform treasures of classical music in Rome's stunning Sagrestia del Borromini.

Capriccio Italiano is a concert series fully dedicated to great Italian composers. Festival performers are skilful instrumentalists who are committed to the research and promotion of a typically Italian instrumental and vocal repertoire. The different chamber music ensembles will lead you through an evocative 500‐year‐long journey brimming with extraordinary music. Performances will include masterpieces, as well as stunning unpublished works.
