I Bassifondi
I Bassifondi is a period ensemble performing music for lute, archlute, theorbo and baroque guitar with continuo. Most 17th-18th century music for lute, guitar, theorbo and archlute was devised and written down to be played in consort with different instruments. Relying on written testimonies as well as on musical and iconographic sources, I Bassifondi, founded and hand-picked by Simone Vallerotonda, aims at rediscovering and offering the audience that repertoire in chamber format. Their debut album ‘Alfabeto falso’ was nominated by the ICMA 2018 among the best baroque instrumental recordings.

She deepened her knowledge of the Baroque repertoire with Claudio Cavina and Rossana Bertini and took further lessons in lied and nineteen-century vocal music under Erik Werba and Dorothy Dorow. Piccinini made her stage debut in a production of Monteverdi’s Orfeo at the Teatro Real in Madrid under Jordi Savall. She has worked with many leading ensembles and orchestras including Concerto Italiano, Europa Galante, Al Ayre Español, Concerto Romano, Concerto Palatino, Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne, Münchner Rundfunkorchester and Hespèrion XXI.
