**Accademia Degli Invaghiti** is an Italian early music ensemble dedicated to reviving Baroque and Renaissance treasures, particularly lesser-known works from composers like Giovanni Battista Franzoni and Paolo Benedetto Bellinzani. Based in Mantua, a city steeped in musical history, the group takes its name from a 16th-century intellectual circle linked to the Gonzaga court, reflecting their passion for historically informed performances. Their recordings, such as *Franzoni: Vespro per la festa di Santa Barbara* and Bellinzani’s *Opera VI* collections, showcase lush vocal-instrumental textures and a commitment to scholarly rigor, often partnering with labels like Tactus to spotlight overlooked sacred and secular works. While the ensemble keeps focus on the music rather than individual members, their projects radiate a warm, collaborative energy that brings centuries-old compositions to vivid life.
