Submitted articles ‘Studi vivaldiani’, without length limits, can be in Italian, English, German, French or Spanish.

Regarding styling, contributors are asked to follow the example of articles in the same language published in recent volumes of ‘Studi vivaldiani’, which can be downloaded from here.
