I CONGIUNTIVI DEFUNTI

Eclecticism, wit, and a passion for music are the key ingredients of I Congiuntivi Defunti, a quartet born from an idea by Marco Furio Forieri—a musician long known for his ability to seamlessly cross genres and musical languages with curiosity and originality.

The lineup delivers a surprising, wide-ranging repertoire that moves effortlessly from 1930s traditional jazz to contemporary sounds, from bossa nova to singer-songwriter classics, and from international standards to Italian music. It is a journey that spans from Louis Prima to Ornella Vanoni, from The Beatles to Poulenc, culminating in a heartfelt, essential tribute to Pitura Freska—all through personal reinterpretations that bridge different eras, styles, and musical cultures.

The result is a dynamic, engaging concert where authentic jazz roots intertwine with original arrangements, improvisation, and a healthy dose of humor. It is a repertoire crafted to highlight music’s ability to reinvent itself while keeping its communicative power fully intact.

Above all, I Congiuntivi Defunti is a meeting of musicians and a playful musical experiment: a quartet traversing seemingly distant genres to prove that a single, surprising common thread connects jazz, bossa nova, pop, and Italian song.
