Cappella Neapolitana

The Cappella Neapolitana was founded in 2016 by the musicologist and conductor Antonio Florio (it), who studied under Nino Rota,[1][2] as well as participating in events at the church Chiesa della Pietà dei Turchini.

[3] The name of church, conservatory, and now the modern cappella and music centre go back to the turquoise (Italian "turchino") shirts worn by the original children of the institute.

[5] A particular focus has been the recovery of the music of Francesco Provenzale, Giovanni Salvatore and Cristofaro Caresana, sometimes in cooperation with the musicologist Dinko Fabris.

[6][7] The concerts of the Cappella and other artists at the Centro di Musica are now widely acknowledged as a tourist attraction in Naples.

Then entered cooperation with the Opus111 label founded by Yolanta Skura[10] for the production of an ambitious and extensive series of recordings of Neapolitan music, Tesori di Napoli, originally scheduled to contain 50 CDs.
