I Ciarlatani is a distinguished ensemble that has made its mark by breathing new life into music of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. The group, named after the Italian word for 'charlatans,' reflects a playfulness and versatility inherent to the traveling musicians and performers of historic times. Dedicated to authentic performance practices, I Ciarlatani has established itself as a leading interpreter of early music, taking listeners on a journey through time with their evocative renditions.

The ensemble's discography includes a rich collection of vocal and chamber music, which often highlights lesser-known composers alongside famous names. Their recordings, such as "Vocal Music (13th Century Motets)," showcase the intricate polyphony of the medieval period, while albums like "Chamber Music" feature the works of composers such as Coprario, Johnson, and Dowland, testifying to the group's versatility across various historical styles. I Ciarlatani's dedication to early music extends to thematic albums like "Renaissance Music At The Court In Heidelberg," exploring the musical landscape of specific historical and cultural environments. The depth of their exploration into the past makes I Ciarlatani's work not only a delight for early music enthusiasts but also an important contribution to the preservation and understanding of Europe's musical heritage.
