Giardini di Mirò

The Profile

Giardini di Mirò are an Italian post-rock band formed in 1995 in Cavriago (Reggio Emilia). Known for evocative, guitar-driven soundscapes enriched with strings and electronics, they’ve released acclaimed records such as Rise and Fall of Academic Drifting, Punk... Not Diet!, Dividing Opinions, and Il Fuoco (a soundtrack for Giovanni Pastrone’s 1915 silent film).

Formed in Cavriago (Reggio Emilia) in 1995; style blends post-rock, shoegaze and electronica. Core members have included Corrado Nuccini, Emanuele Reverberi, Jukka Reverberi and Luca Di Mira. Noted for soundtrack projects tied to silent cinema (Il Fuoco; Rapsodia Satanica) and for influential albums on the Italian alternative scene.

Reviews highlight Giardini di Mirò’s evolution from the acclaimed debut Rise and Fall of Academic Drifting to the wintry punch of Dividing Opinions. Punk... Not Diet! earns rapturous praise, while Live@Interzona captures their visceral impact on stage. Il Fuoco stands out as a mature, nuanced soundtrack project independent of its source film. A remix set, The Academic Rise of Falling Drifters, shows their openness to electronic reworks.
