Trio Amore is an ensemble of professional artists that has been performing together since 1994, and is committed to presenting an abundance of traditional Italian music and opera for the public's enjoyment. The trio features the voices of soprano Maria Fassio Pignati, tenor Peter Girardot, and accompanist Ron Borelli on accordion and keyboard. The group performs throughout California and derives a great deal of happiness in bringing their style of music to others. What makes Trio Amore unique, however, is their particular interpretation of songs. The ensemble adds a touch of humor and dramatic flair to each performance, eliciting laughter and tears from their listeners.

Therefore, the members of Trio Amore decided to record some of their favorite classic Italian love songs for their audience.
