Francesco Filizzola & The Riviera’s
From Italy, with love. A musical journey straight to the heart.
Italian vocalist Francesco Filizzola brings to the stage an atmosphere of timeless elegance and irresistible joy, joined by the exceptional musicians of The Riviera’s. Together, they create a vibrant live experience that blends sophistication with pure entertainment, equally at home in London’s most refined venues as on international stages and exclusive private events around the world.
Their sound is a rich and stylish fusion: the romance of La Dolce Vita swing, the grandeur of operatic expression, the passion of Spanish and Latin rhythms, the energy of rock ’n’ roll, the charm of lounge music, and the unmistakable flavour of Neapolitan song and tarantella; all enhanced by the glittering spirit of classic disco, bringing rhythm, glamour, and an irresistible invitation to dance.
Francesco has held residencies at many of London’s most prestigious music venues and has performed in theatres and at distinguished events worldwide. His artistry has been enjoyed at private gatherings for international royalty, heads of state, and celebrated figures from the worlds of culture, politics, and entertainment.
With musicians hailing from Italy and a repertoire delivered in multiple languages, including English, Italian, Spanish, French, Hebrew, and Russian. Francesco Filizzola & The Riviera’s offer a truly international musical experience, defined by elegance, passion, and the timeless art of live performance.

Production Services (Italy Only)

We can also provide a professional DJ service or curate a bespoke playlist tailored specifically to the event.
Arrival time will be agreed in accordance with the event schedule and production requirements. Where necessary, we are able to arrive the day prior to the performance to allow sufficient time for setup and soundcheck.
The band can perform up to three 45-minute sets, or adapt the performance duration as required to suit the event format.
We are happy to perform outdoors. However, in the event of adverse weather conditions, a suitable marquee or covered stage area must be provided.
For amplified performances, an adequate and safe power supply must be available at the performance area.
For exclusive events, we are delighted to learn a select number of bespoke songs in advance. Clients may curate a setlist from our extensive repertoire, or alternatively, entrust us to craft a tailored musical programme that perfectly complements the tone and atmosphere of the occasion.
More deft moves on the starlit dancefloor where brilliant Italian-Spanish-gypsy Francesco's band whipped everyone into dervishes - warmed up just a little by the copious and excellent drinks thanks to Moët, Belvedere vodka, Jax Coco, Hennessy, Gin Mare, wine from Berry Bros & Rudd - and naughty, naughty Ocho tequila. Not bad for a Monday night.
