Last night, at the **Vittoriale degli Italiani**, the historic residence of poet **Gabriele d’Annunzio**, the talented Tuscan pianist and composer **Giulia Mazzoni** captivated the audience with an enchanting concert. The evocative setting of the Amphitheater, overlooking the **Lake Garda**, made the musical experience even more immersive.
Giulia Mazzoni dedicated a special piece to the host, titled **“Love Your Dream,”** inspired by the famous d’Annunzian line “Love your dream even if it torments you.” The performance, accompanied by the **YAS String Quintet**, comprised of the talented strings from the Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Orchestra, featured a diverse program designed to appeal to enthusiasts of all ages and musical tastes.
Among the pieces performed, standout compositions from her repertoire and her latest album **“Y.A.S. – Your Anima System”** were presented in a unique version for piano and string quintet, enriched by electronic elements and percussion. The pianist also offered a surprising acoustic rendition of **“Get Lucky”** by Daft Punk and a piece played on a toy piano, emphasizing the importance of play and enjoyment in life.
The evening highlighted the versatility of the piano as an instrument capable of engaging with modernity, providing the audience with a rich emotional musical journey.
