Napoli - Music of Naples

Throughout the centuries, Naples proved to have a remarkably favourable climate for artistic innovation. The musical landscape was extraordinarily diverse thanks to the presence of the royal or vice royal court, the practice of music in churches, fraternities and charitable institutions, financial support from well-to-do citizens and the popularity of song and dance in public life.

Let Federica Castaldo (Fondazione Pietà de’Turchini) and harpsichordist Andrea Buccarella (Abchordis Ensemble) tell you more about the musical treasure chest that is Naples, in the second part of the documentary.
