Official review by Ataraxia:

Air, Water, Earth, Fire... here the Sigillum was created. In the ancestral force of Nature it was forged. In Enlightment, Divination and Art it was framed.

It was told that in a different time, so different from the one we are living in, the Sigillum had been given by a Noble and Ancient Spirit to a craft of travelling musicians, coming from an unknown burg. A burg lost in a far-off time country where Beauty and Creation were the highest values.

The craft - whose name is, and since then was, Ataraxia - was invested by a precious and rare task : to spread the Music through space and time.

Autumn 2001 - Lodge of Arceto Castle - Public auction. In the vaults beneath the Théatre de l'Opera in Paris has been recently found a casket filled with bizarre reliquies belonging to that ancient craft. Among them, the Sigillum.

Autumn 1696 - Lodge of the Ducal Palace in Formigine. Four musicians are playing for the courtiers. A red presence, suddenly summoned by the music, is not perceived by the witnessing spectators. The force of the Sigillum has been awakened.

March 1912 - In the vaults of the Théatre de l'Opera in Paris. The mask is torn out from the dark presence. The force of the Sigillum is thrown away.

Autumn 2001 - S. Ruffino - At night time. The casket is opened. The Sigillum found again. The Ancestral Spirit is free to reveal itself once more.

"We have been gathered by the Ancestral Force
Devoted to the Beauty of Music
We are longing for
Our voyage to go on"
