The Duo Zigiotti Merlante, (Sergio Zigiotti on mandolin and Fabiano Merlante on guitar), on this album are performing a series of nineteenth-century pieces of rare charm on various vintage instruments within a compendium of melodies inspired by amorous, operatic, exotic and clever themes. The three composers, Carlo Munier, Enrico Marucelli and Luigi Mozzani were leading figures of the Italian scene between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries both as virtuous and multi-instrumental mandolinists, teachers, directors or members of famous plectrum ensembles. Luigi Mozzani also founded a guitar school-workshop that, successful all over the world, was finally selected by the great Andrés Segovia that chose one of his instruments.
