NovAntiqua Records
Mario Sollazzo | Artistic director
Stefano Zanobini | Production manager

We are Mario Sollazzo, pianist, harpsichordist, conductor, composer and professor at the Modena Conservatory, and Stefano Zanobini, principal violist of Orchestra della Toscana.
Music has always been our life’s compass — the way we listen, think and live.

We founded NovAntiqua to share the music that moves us: from ancient echoes to contemporary voices, from daring ideas to deeply felt interpretations.
Because we are musicians ourselves, we approach every project with the same dedication we bring to performance — care, curiosity and love for detail.

NovAntiqua works on three interconnected fronts:
physical productions (CDs and vinyls), digital distribution on all major streaming platforms and video productions dedicated to music and musicians.

Every NovAntiqua release is a story crafted with honesty, imagination and passion — a story worth listening to, and worth holding in your hands.

What We Offer to Music Lovers

NovAntiqua is founded and run by professional musicians. This makes a difference — we understand what makes a recording feel alive.

- Curated, not crowded. We release only the projects that truly move us. Quality over quantity.

- Artists in every detail. Our musicians take part in all creative choices — from sound to texts and graphics — so each release truly reflects their identity.

- Elegant, sustainable design. Plastic-free packaging, crafted for a beautiful visual and tactile experience.

- Audiophile sound. We care about every nuance, because our own ears are trained on stage.

- Global and connected. Available on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, YouTube Music and all major digital platforms.

- Old and new worlds await. Here, you'll find classical music "musts" alongside fresh discoveries; ancient music performed on original instruments, contemporary works... a rich tapestry of experiences, both old and new.

If you love discovering music with a soul, join our CDs, vinyls, photo books and music films.

What We Do for Artists

As performing musicians, we know what it means to record: it’s not just about documenting a performance, it’s about telling your artistic story.
That’s why NovAntiqua offers a place where artists are heard, seen, and truly represented.

- Complete creative freedom. You take part in every stage — music, sound, design and texts. Your CD or vinyl doesn’t just feature your performance; it is your voice.

- Physical releases with meaning. We produce CDs and vinyl records with elegant design and artisanal care, ensuring your music has a tangible presence in the world.

- Professional digital visibility. We distribute your work on Spotify, Apple Music and all major platforms. Being there matters — for reaching audiences and for how organizers, critics and colleagues perceive your artistic profile.

- Video production that connects. From presentation clips to concert films and music documentaries, we help you create visual stories that engage audiences and promote your work effectively.

Does your music tell a real story?
Whether you work with historically informed performance, contemporary creation or thematic concepts, NovAntiqua offers a space where your ideas can grow and be shared.
You can rely on us for one service or for a complete journey — recording, distribution and video — always with the same artistic care and freedom.
