Imagine, a distant future where man might have neglected one of the most beautiful cities in the world: Venice.
Italian classical music – but with a difference, has remained as an only reminder of the magic and romance of its ancient splendours. What could happen to Venice is the story of Rondo Veneziano...

About Rondo Veneziano:
Rondò Veneziano is an Italian chamber orchestra, specialising in Baroque music, playing original instruments, but incorporating a rock-style rhythm section of synthesizer, bass guitar and drums, led by Maestro Gian Piero Reverberi, who is also the principal composer of all of the original Rondo Veneziano pieces.
The unusual addition of modern instruments, more suitable for Jazz, combined with Reverberi's arrangements and original compositions, have resulted in lavish novel versions of classical works over the years. As a rule in their concert tours, the musicians, mostly women, add to the overall Baroque effect wearing Baroque-era attires and coiffures.
