LUCA FALOMI TRIO
Sailors and dreamers. These are the two themes of the project conceived by Luca Falomi, a guitarist from Genoa, Alessandro Turchet, a bassist from Friuli, and Max Trabucco, a drummer and percussionist from Venice. With their dreamy project they tell us a net of stories hidden in the elusive brackish reflections of northern maritime Italy, those stories that survive in a melodic line, in a heartfelt song; they tell us of East and West, of dwellers on various shores but who have in common the distinctive trait of “stubborn, brackish and active people,” who even in music have been able to stretch sails, draw maps, place lighthouses to hint at the land of that return that is always a clue to a new departure.

VINCENZO ZITELLO
Harpist and composer began the study of music at a very young age by playing transverse flute and viola, later taking part with Franco Battiato in “Telaio Magnetico”. An early popularizer and pioneer of the Celtic harp in Italy since 1977, he has dedicated himself to its study by attending internships in Breton culture and music. In 1980 he perfected with Alan Stivell in bardic harp and Gaelic and British singing. An internationally renowned harpist, he has worked with the likes of Franco Battiato, Rossana Casale, Alice, Ivano Fossati, Teresa De Sio and Armando Corsi. His music, as unique as it is magical, represents an imaginary universe that passes through us on a daily basis, melodies that belong to us and only momentarily turn out to be absent.
