I have found Fabrizio Furci in facebook, and in his facebook profile I have found 2 videos of the Orchestra a plettro Città di Codroipo. Codroipo is located in the North-East of Italy, close to Udine.
This orchestra has been founded in 2005. It has a great homepage with information about the history of the orchestra, pictures, newspaper articles and concert programs. On the website there is also a great link collection about sites with free sheet music for the mandolin.
The two videos were made from a concert including the annauncements. The program contains traditional music for mandolin orchestras, but also some modern pieces like a ragtime and music from the movies.
