Study Day to Celebrate the Eightieth Birthday of Marcello Conati
An illustrious collector of music in the Veneto oral tradition, Marcello Conati is also an eminent Verdi scholar and a musicologist who has continually explored history, historiography and music criticism with a special interest in the rather neglected sector of period press publications. To celebrate Conati’s eightieth birthday, the Giorgio Cini Foundation’s Institute for Music, its Intercultural Institute of Comparative Music Studies and its Centre for Documentary Research into European Theatre and Opera have organised a Study Day dedicated to the scholar’s various ï¬elds of research, which will be affectionately illustrated by a group of colleagues and friends from various generations.
