The string trio Il Furibondo was founded in 2011 by violinist Liana Mosca, violist Gianni de Rosa and cellist Marcello Scandelli. The three musicians collaborate regularly with legendary early music ensembles such as "Il Giardino Armonico" and "Le Concert des Nations". Their repertoire ranges from the Baroque (played on period instruments) to the music of the first half of the 20th century. "Furibondo" was the term used by Giuseppe Tartini to describe the performance style of the great violinist Francesco Geminiani.
