Cappella Neapolitana

Cappella Neapolitana is an early music ensemble based in Naples and dedicated to the recovery of Neapolitan musical heritage, primarily from the baroque era. The Cappella Neapolitana was founded in 2016 by the musicologist and conductor Antonio Florio, whose work in recovering music which has lain unperformed for three centuries often involves reconstructing lost parts, or "discreetly recomposing" missing portions from larger works. 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. The concerts of the Cappella and other artists at the Centro di Musica are now widely acknowledged as a tourist attraction in Naples.
