Antonio Florio is an Italian conductor, musicologist, and Baroque specialist celebrated for breathing new life into Naples’ rich but often overlooked 17th- and 18th-century musical heritage. As founder of the ensemble Cappella Neapolitana, he’s spent decades unearthing and revitalizing works by composers like Francesco Provenzale, Leonardo Vinci, and other lesser-known figures of the Neapolitan School. His recent projects—like the lush *Tormento d’Amore* and *Responde mihi: Liturgical Music in Baroque Naples*—showcase his knack for blending scholarly rigor with vivid storytelling, turning forgotten manuscripts into vibrant performances. Whether reconstructing obscure scores (check out his revamped *Boerio: Bello tiempo passato*) or directing operas like Vinci’s *Siroe, re di Persia*, Florio bridges centuries with a contagious passion for drama and devotion. A true detective of early music, he’s your go-to guide for Naples’ sonic golden age.
