Paolo Penko makes the baton for Giuseppe Lanzetta

Paolo Penko makes a new conductor’s baton for Maestro Lanzetta.

Conductor’s baton made for Maestro Giuseppe Lanzetta in gilded silver and rubies. The handle reproduces a segment of an antique Florentine dagger from the Paolo Peyron collection.

Giuseppe Lanzetta, who holds the chair of orchestral exercises at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome, was in the past also one of the main teachers of the Florence Conducting Masterclass, international conducting courses based in Florence for young conductors from all over the world. In 1981, he founded the Florentine Chamber Orchestra in Florence, which has a 35-member orchestra made up of winds and strings. With the Orchestra da Camera Fiorentina Lanzetta gives concerts in Italy, Europe and several countries outside Europe. Lanzetta is also honorary president of the Florentine branch of the Associazione Mozart Italia.
