Nanni Calandro

What started as a passion has grown into something bigger, a show that celebrates the incredible mastery of Italian directors and composers for film.

Once Upon a Time in Violent Italy is the second chapter in a series that I hope will continue, exploring more genres to reach film buffs, music lovers, and Italian culture enthusiasts not only in Australia but around the world.

This is truly a work of heart, and I feel incredibly grateful to have such a supportive wife and an amazing gang of musicians who believe in this project.

Onward and upward!

Grazie mille!

A huge thank you to everyone who came to our show, to the Adelaide Fringe for including us in the program, and to Nexus Arts Venue for their incredible support and for making us feel so welcome, just like last year.

Massive thanks to TJF Audio for being the best production manager possible! Your work behind the scenes made all the difference.

It’s been amazing to see how a niche show like ours can bring so much entertainment to such a diverse audience. Your enthusiasm and feedback fill our hearts and make us proud and excited to bring our next show to you.

Much love from the gang!

Stay tuned.

The Nanni Calandro's Cinematic Gang is coming back for the most dangerous show in town.
Get ready for a wild ride through the gritty world of 1970s Italian crime movie soundtracks.
Stay tuned... if you have guts.
