Synopsis:

Documentary telling the story of the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio, an ensemble of around twenty musicians from countries all over the world who live in a working class district in Rome where Italians are in the minority. The orchestra was created by Agostino Ferrente (president and founder of the Apollo 11 group) and Mario Tronca (from Piccola Orchestra Avion Travel),in Rome in 2001. Ferrente, together with a dozen people, founded the Apollo 11 group which saved the historic Apollo cinema-theatre from becoming a bingo hall and instead resulted in it being an important cultural centre in Rome, programming films, music and plays.

Focuses on the emotions created by a musical and humanitarian bet:bringing together musicians from all over the world on a single stage. The musicians themselves talk about their own roles in the ambitious project of making the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio an important reality.

A film, which presently goes by the working title 'Prove dOrchestra', will be released soon. The film talks about the birth of the Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio and the stories of its protagonists united by a project developed by the Cultural Association Apollo 11. The documentary will focus on the emotions created by a musical and humanitarian bet: bringing together musicians from all over the world on a single stage. The musicians themselves talk about their own roles in the ambitious project of making the OPV an important reality.
