Salvatore Di Vittorio is seen as heir to the Italian neo-Classical orchestral tradition with a narrative style notable for its colourful orchestration and “swelling lyricism” (American Record Guide).

Sinfonia No. 3 evokes the beauty and magnificence of Sicilian temples, while Sinfonia No. 4 “Metamorfosi”, based on Ovid, is Di Vittorio’s most important work to date.
