D'Urbano's early works were heavily influenced by the avant-garde movement, but she later developed a more personal style that blended elements of traditional and contemporary music. One of D'Urbano's most notable works is her opera "La Lupa," which is based on a play by Giovanni Verga. The opera premiered in 1995 at the Teatro dell'Opera di Roma and was well-received by audiences and critics alike.

Centonze's music is characterized by its emotional depth and expressive melodies. One of Centonze's most famous works is his "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra," which was premiered in 2001 by the Orchestra Sinfonica di Sanremo. The concerto features virtuosic piano passages and lush orchestration, and has been performed by numerous orchestras around the world. Centonze has also composed a number of chamber music works, including "String Quartet No. 2" and "Sonata for Cello and Piano." Luisella Giannettoni was born in Florence, Italy in 1958.
