When Nadia Lasserson, a piano professor at London's Royal College of Music, discovered them, she thought she had made her dream come true. And in fact, four sisters aged seven to 16 who play together works written for eight hands such as Les noces d'argent by Cécile Chaminade are a rare and unique case. Especially if, as their mother Simona Zampa assures, Caterina, Maria Adele, Amalia and Margherita also get along and support each other without jealousy. Even at school, at the Conservatory of Italian Switzerland that all four attend, at different levels but always followed by maestro Andrea Conenna.
