The Boccherini Quintet (Quintetto Boccherini) was a string quintet founded in Rome in 1949 when two of its original members, Arturo Bonucci and Pina Carmirelli, discovered and bought, in Paris, a complete collection of the first edition of Luigi Boccherini's 141 string quintets, and set about to promote this long neglected music.
He began to study the viola in the early 1950s and switched to this instrument on a full-time basis when was invited by Pina Carmirelli and Arturo Bonucci to replace Renzo Sabatini in the Quintetto Boccherini.
Pina Carmirelli (Varzi, 23 January 1914 - Capena, 26 February 1993) was an Italian violinist.
