Rose Rovine e Amanti is a musical project based in Rome, Italy, led by Damiano Mercuri, aided by Noemi York, Christian Valente and Giuseppe Lorenzoni.
Founded in 2002, the sound of the group has changed through the years, from a pure neofolk to a wider range of sounds. Their music is now a brilliant mixture of acoustic folk rock with some bitter songwriting tunes. To describe their music we could mention artists like: Sol Invictus, And Also the Trees, David Bowie, Lucio Battisti, Leonard Cohen, Death in June, Current 93 and Jacques Brel style, all reinforced by a Mediterranean taste.
The music is inspired by various themes, such as religious visions of the medieval Catholic Europa, cabaret grotesque pieces, and human madness, all explored with an inner spiritual strength.
