Gruppo Seicento early music ensemble was established in 2002 by the effort of musicians dedicated for a long time to the early music in the will to face the baroque repertoire, with a special interest in Seventeen century Italian music, using original instruments or copies, studying the original sources of this period and performing on historical tunings.				The meeting point for such a project has been the Early Music Institute of the "Accademia Internazionale della Musica di Milano" (Milan - Italy), where the components of the group have made their specialization studies with the most prominent specialists (L. Ghielmi, E. Onofri, P. Memelsdorff, V. Ghielmi, P. Beier, S. Montanari, D. Bragetti, K. Boeke, A. Grazzi, and D. Fratelli).
The Gruppo Seicento has played in several early music concert seasons and festivals in Italy, Spain, United Kingdom and South America obtaining unanimous approval from the public and the critic.				From its recent commitments the ensemble emphasizes the world premiere recording of the 18 sonatas by Giovanni Battista Fontana for the spanish label Arsis and the participation as artists-in-residence in the 2005 Oundle International Music Festival and Semanas Musicales de Frutillar 2006.
