Il Violino Fantastico

Il Violino Fantastico, directed by Margherita Pupulin, aims to rediscover and popularise the astonishing history of the violin’s invention in the Baroque era: a story of stunning inventiveness, experimentalism and expressiveness.

Opened with the duo with Juan José Francione in 2021, the project continued in 2022 and 2023 with the second volume Violin in Love, and was presented at important venues and festivals, such as the Innsbrucker Festwochen der Alten Musik, the Festival de Música Antigua de Úbeda y Baeza, the Pergolesi Theatre in Jesi, and the Magie Barocche festival in Catania.

The year 2024 will see the birth of the third volume: La Monella.

The project enjoys the support of the Fondazione Pietà dei Turchini of Naples and the Talenti Vulcanici Association.
