'''''Scaramucce''''' is the third studio album by Italian chamber orchestra Rondò Veneziano, released in 1982 through Baby Records.
==Overview== Compared to the first two albums, ''Scaramucce'' has more classical elements than electronic ones. The Venetian Baroque has a great influence here again, but most of the pieces are very rhythmic.<ref>{{cite book|last=Bote|first=Katrin|date=2002|title=Faszination der Popklassik|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=WyJ1FSjX-fIC&pg=PA174|language=de|publisher=BoD – Books on Demand|page=123|isbn=9783831139927}}</ref> The album was a moderate success, reaching 33rd place in the German chart<ref name="ger" /> and 14th in Italy.<ref name="Musica e dischi" />
