Angelo Petisi is an accomplished Italian mandolin player and orchestra leader whose work has contributed to the resurgence and appreciation of traditional Neapolitan music and Italian string compositions. Known for his deft skill on the mandolin, Angelo Petisi champions the rich history of Italian string music through both vibrant live performances and a catalog of nostalgic, auditory delights that explore the cultural tapestry of Italy. His leadership of the Mandolin Orchestra Di Napoli showcases the union of multiple mandolinists playing in harmony, reviving the communal spirit of Italian folk music and the mandolin's integral role in it.

Petisi's discography, which includes albums like "World's Novelty Champions: Angelo Petisi," reflects a journey through Italy's lush musical landscapes, bringing old-world charm to contemporary audiences. In albums such as "Caterina" and "La tarentelle napolitaine," he breathes life into classic tarantellas—a traditional Italian folk dance—allowing the frenetic energy and rhythm of Southern Italy to pulsate in the modern era. "Sunny Mandolins - Italia - Italy" and "Italia Romantica (Romantic Italy)" speak to Petisi's ability to conjure images of Italy's sun-soaked countryside and romantic vistas, transporting listeners with sweeping melodies that are both heartwarming and evocative of Italy's storied past. Angelo Petisi's music serves as a loving tribute to the mandolin's timeless beauty and the enduring allure of Italian musical heritage.
