Modo Antiquo is a distinguished early music ensemble, specializing in the performance of music from the Baroque era with a particular emphasis on Italian repertoire. Founded in Italy in 1984 by its current director, Federico Maria Sardelli, a noted conductor and musicologist, the group has established itself as one of the leading interpreters of 17th and 18th-century music. Much of their work focuses on the music of Antonio Vivaldi, and they are recognized for their authentic, dynamic, and historically informed performances using original instruments and manuscripts.

Over the years, Modo Antiquo has carved out a niche in the world of classical music with their scholarly approach to performance and extensive discography. Through recordings such as "Vivaldi: Juditha Triumphans," "Carmina Burana," and "Vivaldi: La stravaganza," they have brought light to lesser-known works alongside celebrated classics. With a scholarly stance, the ensemble has contributed to the rediscovery of lost compositions, as seen in the "Lost Concertos for Anna Maria" project. Modo Antiquo's dedication to excellence is evident in their treatment of works such as "Vivaldi: L'opera per Traversiere" and Sardelli's own compositions, marking them as auteurs in the field of early music revivalism and historical performance.
