In Autumn 2002, to prevent Rome's Apollo Cinema from becoming a huge bingo hall, resident musicians aligned with local artists to create a workshop of writing, music and film. Agostino Ferrente and Mario Tronco founded L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio (named after a square in central Rome where Italians are a minority), formed entirely of immigrants from Tunisia, Morocco, Senegal, Cuba, Ecuador, Argentina, India, Romania, Hungary, and the U.S. Soon after, production began on the upcoming "documusical" Prove d'Orchestra, which documents this fascinating project. With outstanding solo artists, L'Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio has aroused the curiosity of music critics, journalists and sociologists around the world. The outstanding group plays an explosive mix of South Asian worldbeat, Andean melodies, North African rhythms, and jazz. Each musician has his own cultural background, and this meshing of traditions and cultures leads to a fusion of different styles, melodies and voices from all over the world.
