The Vanvitelli Quartet brings Fiumi Barocchi to life with three sonatas by authors who were born and raised in Italy and were also (if not above all) successful abroad. The most famous is Domenico Scarlatti, a Neapolitan, who had a second life between the Portuguese and Spanish courts. Less known are the Abruzzese Mascitti, a skilled violinist who found fame in Paris, and the Cagliaritan Giuseppe Agus, who met fortune in London; both authors that you can rediscover under the frescoes of Sala dei Fiumi.
