L'Orchestra di Piazza Vitorio started as a way of integrating immigrants of different origins into their small neighbourhood in Rome. It was one mighty project to find professional musicians, who in their host country were disguised as cooks, rubbish collectors or street vendors.
After struggles to receive visas, securing funding, finding a place to rehearse and through much determination, in the end instruments, rythms and lyrics from the four corners of the world, come together in vibrant pieces of music.

This orchestra's story is touching and inspiring. Watch it if you have the chance.
