Music Migrations from the Bohemian Lands to Trieste and the National Awakening of the Southern Slavs
2017
After obtaining the status of free port under the Austrian administration (1719), Trieste was transformed into a rich cosmopolitan town of the Adriatic sea, in which conveyed German and Slavic peoples, and then some groups from the Mediterranean countries. Among them, the Czechs played a key role in spreading the classical style at the end of the eighteenth century, as testified by the individual migration of composers to the nearby cities of Gorizia and Ljubljana (František Josef Dusík, Vaclav Vratny, Jan Kejha, Johannes Schreiber). Equally important, in the second part of the nineteenth century, was the creation of the modern violin school thanks to the contribution of Friedrich Pixis’s p…
Per uno studio della storiografia musicale in Italia nel XIX secolo
2005
Italian musicologists have hitherto shown scant interest in the music historiography of the nineteenth century. And to date, there has been no global vision of the ways of which history was written during the period in which scientific musicology was born (the late nineteenth century and early twentieth). Also with a view to engaging on a “history of the histories of music” some time in the future, the paper examines the following issues: 1) the passage from history interpreted philosophically to history written by professional historians; 2) the foundation of the categories of “monument” and “document” and the relative processes of historicization (German: Historisierung) in the field of m…
La mauresque sur scène et les contacts musico-teatraux entre l'Italie et la ville de Dubrovnik au XVIe siècle
2019
The moresca, and the related forms of weapon dance, either spread in the Mediterranean basin or in several countries of Central and Southern Europe, was a kind of 16-century choreography. Born as a battle between Saracens and Christian knights, this dance inspired different kinds of mimic spectacle that served as a part of comedies and pastoral plays. The article analyses the relationship between the moresca intermingled in the pastorals of Dubrovnik and Siena, both marked by a strong presence of dances, songs and choruses to increase the fantastic and sentimental emphasis of the performances. Both Dubrovnik’s and Italian’s plays were characterized by shepherds, nymphs, and rustic men (the …
Verdi e il Théâtre Italien di Parigi (1845-1856)
2019
Quale ruolo svolse il Théâtre Italien di Parigi nella relazione privilegiata che legò Verdi alla Francia? Fino ad oggi gli studiosi hanno lasciato quasi del tutto inevasa questa domanda. Eppure proprio il Théâtre Italien, istituzione votata specificamente all’esecuzione di opere italiane in lingua originale, fino alla sua chiusura, nel 1878, fu di gran lunga il palcoscenico parigino sul quale si diede con maggior frequenza e costanza la musica del compositore. Della storia dei legami fra Verdi, le sue opere e il Théâtre Italien, questo libro indaga le tormentate fasi comprese fra gli esordi (Nabucodonosor, 1845) e i primi trionfi (Il trovatore, 1854- 56). Attraverso un percorso di ricerca c…

Paradigma culturale e canone popolare: musica e nazione nei paesi slavi della Mitteleuropa nel diciannovesimo secolo
2016
The national identity of Slavic Mitteleuropa is examined by means of a new approach to different cultural paradigms, namely the historical events out of which the popular canon in music flourished at the end of eighteenth-century Poland and in nineteenth-century Bohemia, Slovenia and Croatia. This phenomenon must be analysed within a framework in which cosmopolitism and nationalism co-existed in a mix of functional and autonomous music, superseding the boundaries of subordination, adaptation and autonomy.
Elogio del Jommelli
2022
Saverio Mattei (1742-1795) had a multifaceted personality. Born in Calabria but educated in Naples, he devoted himself to law and held important administrative positions. At the same time, he cultivated numerous cultural interests with inexhaustible enthusiasm: he was a translator of biblical psalms, a theorist of classical and modern dramaturgy, an author and reviser of librettos, a correspondent of Pietro Metastasio and the founder of the music library of the Conservatorio della Pietà de’ Turchini. His "Elogio del Jommelli o sia Il progresso della poesia e della musica teatrale" was printed for the first time in 1784 and published again one year later with a few but interesting variants. …
