BOSCO SACRO
Bosco Sacro is an Italian quartet formed in 2020 by Paolo Monti (The Star Pillow, DAIMON), Giulia Parin Zecchin (Julinko), Luca Scotti, and Francesco Vara (both formerly of Tristan da Cunha, with Vara also active in Altaj).
Inspired by the sublime and restorative power of nature and its landscapes, and driven by a shared belief in music as a healing and liberating force, Bosco Sacro create immersive soundscapes where dreamlike atmospheres, slow-moving rhythms, and spiritual depth converge. Their music draws from ambient, doom, and trip-hop, transforming these influences into a deeply personal and evocative sonic language.
Their debut album, Gem, was recorded with producer Lorenzo Stecconi (Amenra, Zu, Ufomammut, Lento) and released in 2023 through Avantgarde Music.
In 2025, following an artistic residency at Villa Albrizzi Marini in San Zenone degli Ezzelini, the band released Live at Chiesa Armena via Go Down Records, capturing a performance recorded inside a striking 17th-century church.
Since their inception, Bosco Sacro have performed throughout Italy and Europe, appearing at festivals such as Brutal Assault, A Colossal Weekend, Curtarock, and Bear Stone. Their live performances have earned praise for their passionate, cathartic, ritualistic, and immersive nature, establishing the band as one of the most distinctive acts emerging from Italy’s contemporary underground scene.
