Outro music I Fiori di Molfetta (Molfetta’s Flowers) is by the "Apulian Mandolin Academy" , an ensemble of soloists, all graduates from the mandolin school of the “N. Piccinni ”Consrvatory of Bari, The ensamble is directed by Maestros Mauro Squillante and Leonardo Lospalluti. The mandolin is a typical southern Italian instrument, and the Accademia of Puglia is one of a kind in keeping with this tradition. They have been touring Italy and Europe over the last 5 years.
