The Quintetto Bottesini was created with the intent of rediscovering a rarely performed musical repertory of great interest that brings together violin, viola, cello, double-bass and piano. This instrumental ensemble, consecrated by Franz Schubert in his famous Die Forelle quintet (1819), has also been put to use by lesser-known composers such as Johann Nepomuck Hummel who inserted the double-bass in his Settimino and in the op. 87 quintet (1822). Beyond these compositions, the repertory of the Quintetto Bottesini features well-known quartets with piano (Mozart, Schumann, Brahms) and virtuoso pieces by Giovanni Bottesini, the renowned double-bass player, composer and conductor for whom the quintet is named. Moreover, the quintet performs pieces by the German composers Ferdinand Ries (1784-1838) and Hermann Goetz (1840-1876), the Austrian composer Franz Limmer (1808 - 1857), the French composer George Onslow (1784 - 1853) and by Ralph Vaughan Williams, an English composer (1872 - 1958). Of the contemporary repertory, the quintet performs pieces by Astor Piazzolla (Cuatro Estaciones Porteñas) and by various Italian composers such as Alessandro Solbiati, Fabrizio Festa, Stefano Taglietti and Raffaele Bellafronte, who have composed expressly for the ensemble. The ensemble is compound by Alessandro Cervo violin, Federico Stassi viola, Giacomo Grandi cello, Roberto Della Vecchia double bass, Linda Di Carlo piano.

The members of the ensemble are: Alessandro Cervo violin, Federico Stassi viola, Giacomo Grandi violoncello, Roberto Della Vecchia double bass, Linda Di Carlo piano.
