Guitar virtuoso Roberto Porroni and flutist Luigi Arciuli perform a concert of Italian music from the 1800s, with works by Paganini; Caruilli (a fantasy on Rossini’s Gazza Ladra); and some popular songs of the unification period, including a rare piece written by Guiseppe Mazzini, one of the Italian heroes of the time.
A second part will be devoted to Italian music of the 1900s, with soundtracks by Nino Rota and Ennio Morricone.
