Alessandro Fongaro brings deeply personal experiences into his music, creating a diary of love, loss, and relationships. His bandmates, whom he calls family, perfectly embody his musical vision with their sensitivity and energy.

Alessandro Fongaro describes his music as "a kind of personal diary, where I have gathered everything I’ve experienced during that period: love, heartbreak, friendships, and so on."On his bandmates: “I’ve spent so much time on and off the stage with Sun Mi and Nicolò that I can actually call them family. Meanwhile, Jesse is a musician I got to know better only during the pandemic. We started playing as a duo, and I immediately fell in love with his sensitivity, energy, and dedication. When the idea of Pietre began to form in my mind and I started imagining how I wanted the band to sound, these were the three musicians I heard playing my music."Lineup: Nicolò Ricci – tenor saxophone Jesse Schilderink – baritone, tenor saxophone Alessandro Fongaro – double bass Sun-Mi Hong – drums
