I Virtuosi Italiani is a celebrated chamber orchestra renowned for their passionate performances and dedication to classical and contemporary repertoire. Based in Italy, the group was founded in the 1980s and swiftly garnered a reputation as one of the country's leading ensembles, distinguished by their versatility and the high-caliber artistry of its musicians. Their work extends beyond the traditional boundaries of classical music, often engaging in programs that combine classical pieces with innovative interpretations and the premieres of modern compositions.

In recent years, I Virtuosi Italiani has demonstrated their adaptability and breadth by exploring a vast array of works, as evidenced by their varied discography.
