The first step consisted in the study and recording of the instrumental works of Giovanni Battista Vitali. In this third of 6 albums dedicated to his music preserved at the Estense Library of Modena, the baroque group Italico Splendore performs the Sonatas op. 5. The title of each of the sonatas is the surname of a well-known aristocratic family of the area of Modena this was Vitali's explicit homage to the circles in which he was working. Each sonata is different in it's affect and style the musical material is complex and diversified, almost as if it were actually personalized this seems to suggest that there is a deliberate correspondence between the individual pieces and the people to whom they were dedicated.

In this third of 6 albums dedicated to his music preserved at the Estense Library of Modena, the baroque group Italico Splendore performs the Partitas and the Sonatas op. 13. The Partitas are formed of ten pieces for violone and eight for violin, in the form of variations introduced by a toccata. It is worthwhile to mention the fact that the sixty pieces of the Artificii, which are based on several counterpoint techniques and arranged in an order of growing complexity, from two to twelve parts, are an extraordinary example of a study of counterpoint that comes before J. S. Bach's colossal work.
