Pino de Vittorio

Pino de Vittorio is an Italian singer, actor, and multi-instrumentalist known for breathing fiery new life into early music and folk traditions from Southern Italy. A passionate interpreter of Baroque, Renaissance, and regional repertoires, he’s become something of a musical time traveler—whether reviving forgotten Neapolitan cantatas with his longtime collaborator Antonio Florio (as seen in *Cantate napoletane del 700*) or channeling the raw energy of Calabrian tarantellas in *Tarentelle del Rimorso*. His recent projects, like *Occhi turchini* and *Siciliane*, showcase his knack for blending scholarly rigor with theatrical flair, often spotlighting rustic instruments like the chitarra battente. With a voice that shifts from tender lullabies (*Ninna nanna*) to streetwise swagger (*Fra' Diavolo*), de Vittorio turns historical tunes into vivid, foot-stomping storytelling sessions. His work feels less like a museum exhibit and more like a raucous feast where 17th-century composers like Kapsberger rub elbows with folk rebels and Mediterranean balladeers.
