Violin Love - Varese

Immerse yourself in an atmosphere of pure poetry, wrapped in the warmth of the most passionate melodies ever written. These masterpieces of romantic music, performed by a string quintet and piano featuring the masterful first violin Elvin Dhimitri, will transport you on a timeless journey through the essence of emotions. The program celebrates every nuance of feeling: from the celestial lyricism of 'The Mission' to the poignant nostalgia of 'Cinema Paradiso' by Morricone, through the electrifying energy of Piazzolla’s 'Libertango' and the immortal elegance of Bach and Beethoven.
This extraordinary event takes place in one of the most prestigious locations of Varese: the beautiful Salone Estense of Palazzo Estense. Experience an unforgettable evening where the violin strings touch the very depths of the soul: a perfect union of music, art, and timeless beauty.

The Salone Estense (also known as the “Salone d'Onore”) is one of the most noble and spectacular rooms of Palazzo Estense, a residence commissioned by Duke Francesco III d'Este in the second half of the 18th century and now the seat of the Municipality of Varese.
Located on the ground floor, it features an imposing fireplace in polychrome marble, created by Antonio Buzzi, surmounted by the portrait of the Duke. The walls and ceiling are enriched by fake illusionistic architecture painted by Lodovico Bosellini and a large central medallion frescoed by Giovanni Battista Ronchelli, depicting Jupiter, Venus and Cupid in homage to the royal wedding.
Today the hall is used for official ceremonies, conferences, concerts and civil weddings.
