perfection and beauty. Nature is seen as harmony, proportion, symmetry.
Man is at the centre of the Universe. Happiness is praised in all its
forms as the search for and knowledge of one’s self within the System of
Nature.Born in Rome, Simone Vallerotonda began to study music on the classical guitar. Interested in early music, he studied lute with Andrea Damiani in Santa Cecilia Conservatory
in Rome. He has performed both as soloist and basso continuo player on
plucked instruments in international music festivals and venues. He teaches Lute at the Conservatory L. Refice of Frosinone (IT) and baroque Guitar at the Conservatory G. B.
