Classical Concerts in the Best Surroundings

Italy holds the foundational keys to classical music, especially since European classical music traces its roots to music notation, education, and instrument building from Medieval Italy. With its music of the Renaissance and Baroque period, to 18th-century classical music and Romanticism, Italy advanced throughout history in music composition and performance. Italian opera took flight in the era of Romanticism that worshiped the human traits of love, courage, and freedom. Rossini, Bellini, Donizetti, Verdi, and Puccini still remain as some of Italy’s greatest composers to remember for lifetimes to come.
