L’Appassionata was founded in 2019 around the activities of the Gaspari Foundation as a group of outstanding talents devoted to the in-depth study of the chamber orchestra repertoire.Its members include some of the finest young professional musicians in Italy, trained at the most important musical institutions throughout Europe, who have already gained significant concert experience with leading Italian orchestras: the Orchestra Sinfonica Nazionale della RAI, the Orchestra Filarmonica della Scala, the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano, the Orchestra del Teatro Regio of Turin, the Orchestra of the Arena di Verona Foundation, the Orchestra di Padova e del Veneto and the Orchestra Filarmonica del Teatro Comunale di Bologna.The ensemble has collaborated with internationally renowned soloists including Gil Shaham, Emmanuel Pahud, Daishin Kashimoto, Alexander Chaushian, Leonora Armellini, Anna Tifu, Enrico Dindo, Giuseppe Gibboni and Andrea Battistoni.

In 2021, two recording projects were released: a Vivaldi monograph published for the first time by SONY Classical with flutist Tommaso Benciolini, and a Bach monograph with violinist Jaroslaw Nadrzycki, released by Hänssler Classics.
Both recordings were broadcast by RAI Radio 3, BBC Radio, Radio Classica, Radio24, Venice Classic Radio and Sky Classica HD.

In 2023, L’Appassionata made its debut in the United States, performing to a sold-out audience at Carnegie Hall in New York. In 2024, the ensemble was invited to perform in the main hall of the Tonhalle Zurich, receiving unanimous acclaim from both audience and critics, and in the same year it was selected to perform on the occasion of the visit of His Holiness Pope Francis to Verona.
