From the encounter between Daniele di Bonaventura's historic Band'Union with Ilaria Pilar Patassini, an evocative musical journey into the true and profound sounds of the Bel Paese was born. The tradition of melodies and dialects is proposed and reworked in an elegant and passionate way through the colors of jazz and folk that enhance and renew its soul.

Compositions known and less known but no less precious, from the Naples of Varca Lucente to the Abruzzo of Vola Vola, from La Serenata with the Romanesque text by Giuseppe Gioacchino Belli to the sacredness of the Sardinian Ave Maria, Italia Folksongs is openly a project testimonial of timeless Italian music, of those melodies and richness of regional diversity that make our country a language of land unique in the world and also much loved for this reason.
