Livorno's Terrazza Mascagni will be the enchanting setting for the Army Military Band, conducted by Maestro Maggiore Filippo Cangiamila, to pay tribute to the genius of Pietro Mascagni and the city with ardent verismo arrangements. This event marks an exceptional occasion to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Band's founding.

The Army Band, founded in 1964, represents the institutional musical ensemble of the Armed Force. Composed of one hundred and two musicians, an archivist, a Master Conductor, and a Master Deputy Conductor, all of whom graduated from the Conservatory and were selected through a national competition, the Army Band plays a crucial role both in institutional services and in intensive concert activity.

Its presence has been appreciated in the most prestigious theaters in Italy and abroad, including the Teatro Massimo in Palermo, the Teatro San Carlo in Naples, the Rome Opera House and many others. In addition to performing in numerous European countries, the Band has had the honor of playing in the United States of America.

Participating in major national and international reviews and festivals, such as the Festival dei 2 Mondi in Spoleto and the International Festival of Military Bands in Modena, the Band has collaborated with world-renowned artists in both classical and pop music.

His repertoire ranges from celebratory to operatic symphonic music, with a particular fondness for original music for Banda. His performance of the Italian National Anthem, faithful to Novaro's original score, has been selected as one of the symbols of the Republic on the Quirinale website
