tipografia metropolitana bologna - september 2015 The church boasts a choir by Frà Damiano da Bergamo, created between 1528 and 1551. Described by contemporaries as the eighth wonder of the world, it is one of the last intarsiate choirs of the late Renaissance. Splendid still life paintings of musical instruments decorate the lectern for the great choir books (some dating back to the 14th century can be seen in the Museum). alingr ado via St o Pietr via d via el B Ma sca orgo rell a di S. po Re rece toloni nto ntot via Ce v.

Unique instruments, many of them richly decorated according to the landscape painting tastes of the 17th and the 18th centuries and all in perfect working order. On the third floor there is the library of the Bolognese musicologist Oscar Mischiati with more than ten thousand volumes. In the Oratory there is an impressive cycle of frescoes by the best apprentices of the Carracci. www.genusbononiae.it Az via Milazzo vi Minzon via L. Calori Piazza della Resistenza .

San Colombano, Collezione Tagliavini 1. 2. A. v viale The jazz craze reached Bologna in the late Thirties, and after the Second World War it developed an original style thanks to the passion and the enthusiasm of some university students, themselves excellent amateur jazz players and to the foundation of various associations and clubs. In 1952 the Superior Magistratus Ragtime Band was founded as University “band”, which later changed to its present name,of the Dr Dixie Jazz Band. This “amateur” jazz band (even if artists like Henghel Gualdi, Lucio Dalla and Pupi Avati where members) gets together since 1972 at the Cantina in C. Battisti street for unscheduled performances but open to the public. The band proposal is Traditional and Dixieland high level jazz music; the group has indeed taken part in many important jazz festivals, and they had the chance to perform with world-famous jazz musicians like Louis Armstrong and Gerry Mulligan.

The music collections he gathered here, are today kept inside the Music Museum. His wide knowledge attracted students such as W.A. Mozart and J. Christian Bach, son of famous Sebastian. In his cell, unfortunately since demolished, he used to receive Italian and European maestros visiting the city. Stazione Centrale viale P. Pie tramellara enic Piazza San Francesco via G.

Stefano v A. ia Mu rri City of Music Member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network since 2006 1. Basilica of San Petronio Piazza Maggiore The musical chapel of San Petronio, the most important in Bologna, was founded in 1436 by the Pope Eugenio IV and soon became famous all around Europe. The inlaid choir by Agostino de’ Marchi and the illuminated manuscripts describe well the uninterrupted musical activity which had its golden age in the second part of 1600 under the direction of Cazzati, Colonna, Perti and important musicians as Domenico Gabrielli, Vitali e Torelli. The most prestigious symbol of the chapel is a monumental organ, built between 1471 and 1475 by Lorenzo da Prato, which is the most ancient organ still working today. Another organ by Baldassarre Malamini (1596), which is still in use too, and a big horseshoe-shaped choir are conserved in San Petronio. The most important city bells overlooking Piazza Maggiore have beaten the time of civic and religious events since the Middle Age – outside view only -. In 1453 the biggest bell in Bologna (around 47 quintals) was set in the Arengo tower in order to gather the citizens on the occasion of social or political events. A bell designed to beat the hours had been placed on the Town Hall clock tower at the beginning of 1400. At last, a special assembly system was set in the bell tower of San Petronio in 1500: it permits the simultaneous concert (“double”) of 4 bells which rotate 360 degrees. This specific Bolognese belfry art has been handed down from father to son until nowaOrgan, Lorenzo da Prato days. Teatro Comunale 3. Teatro Comunale Largo Respighi The major City Theatre, the Teatro Comunale, designed by the wellknown scene designer and architect Antonio Galli Bibiena, opened with a performance of an opera by Gluck in 1763. Different operas were performed here by Rossini as well as the Italian premiere of The African Woman by Meyerbeer (1865) and Don Carlos (1867) by Giuseppe Verdi, to whom the square opposite the theatre is entitled. The Teatro Comunale is especially famous for the Wagnerian devotion of its directors (A. Mariani, l. Mancinelli, G. Martucci) who performed almost all the Italian premieres written by the innovative German Romantic composer here. Few steps away from the theatre (via Belle Arti), an atelier, where the Bolognese luthier technique is still being handed down, is worth a visit; this technique came into being thanks to some German artisans who lived in the city in the 15th century. www.comunalebologna.it 6. Basilica of Santa Maria dei Servi Strada Maggiore, 43 Among the many historical organs of Bologna (Churches of San Petronio, San Martino, San Procolo, San Domenico, Santa Maria della Vita, Oratoriy of Filippini, San Michele in Bosco to name a few) is noteworthy the mechanical action pipe organ of the Basilica. It dates back to 1967 and it’s still used for concerts nowadays. 7. Church of Santa Cristina Piazzetta Morandi, 2 4. International Music Museum and Library Strada Maggiore, 34 Accademia Filarmonica 5. Accademia Filarmonica 2. Conservatoire Giovan Battista Martini Via Guerrazzi, 13 Piazza Rossini, 2 It is a public institution founded in 1942 from the ancient Liceo Filarmonico and is entitled to the learned Bolognese Franciscan Father G. B. Martini. It is one of the most ancient Italian conservatories and it was the first public music school in Italy. Among its first students there was the young Rossini in 1808-1809. Today the Conservatory offers more than 80 subjects and workshops on bel canto, ancient and contemporary music, analysis of modern technologies applied on music and recently also some jazz classes. www.conservatoriobologna.it. The exhibition path that winds through the splendid rooms of Sanguinetti Palace illustrates about six centuries of history of the European music. There are over one hundred paintings of famous musicians, a prestigious collection of antique musical instruments integrated with a large selection of valuable historical documents, such as treatises, volumes, opera libretti, letters, manuscripts, original musical scores, which are part of the legacy of Padre Giovanni Battista Martini, one of the most illustrious names in the 18th century European music world. Many unique and important works can be admired, like the famous Harmonice Musices Odhecaton A, the first printed book of sheet music by Ottaviano Petrucci, the mysterious Mozart’s entrance examination (the original antiphon he wrote to become a member of the Accademia Filarmonica), the 1600 edition of the Euridice complete collection, the original score of The Barber of Seville by Rossini. The collection of musical instruments includes the harmony of flutes by Manfredo Settala (1650) and the Clavemusicum of Vito Trasuntino (1606). Among the all portraits: Vivaldi, Händel, Gluck, Rossini, Donizetti, Bellini, Verdi, Wagner, the one of Johann Christian Bach by Gainsborough, the young Mozart, the Farinelli portrait by Corrado Giaquinto and the famous Libreria Musicale by Giuseppe Maria Crespi are noteworthy. And finally part of the ground fl oor is dedicated to the reconstructed Ottorino Respighi luthier workshop. The collection inherited from Padre Martini is one of the most prestigious collections of music repertory in the world: the printed sheet music from 1500 to 1700 are of primary importance; the actual museums selection consists of 118.000 historical documents: 6.000 manuscripts, a collection of 12.000 opera libretti and more than 5.000 letters. The palace where Gioachino Rossini lived for twenty years before he moved to Paris it’s in the same street (number 26); you will easily recognize it from the Latin decoration on the classic façade. www.museomusicabologna.it International Music Museum The Accademia Filarmonica of Bologna, founded in 1666, is an institution which gathers well-known figures within the music circle coming from all Europe. The licence issued by the Accademia had such great prestige that in 1770 even the fourteen-year-old Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart underwent the strict entrance examination after following Father G.B. Martini’s lessons. Among the members of the Accademia there were other renowned personalities of the music scene such as Farinelli, Rossini, Verdi, Wagner, Puccini, Liszt, Brahms, and, in our century, honoris causa Riccardo Muti and Claudio Abbado. www.accademiafilarmonica.it Church of Santa Cristina Camaldolese nuns founded the Convent of Santa Cristina “della Fondazza” in Bologna in 1247. The church we see today was built in 1602 by Giulio Della Torre, an architect belonging to Domenico Tibaldi’s circle. The aisleless interior features a constricted presbytery which functions as a sort of resounding chamber so as to turn Santa Cristina into a real architectural musical instrument where the sound wafts in with exceptional acoustic purity. It is precisely this characteristic that gives rise to the myth of the “musician nuns”: the nuns used to sing in the area behind the apsidal hall far from prying eyes and their voice spread through two gratings placed above the high altar as far as the entrance without echo or refraction effects. The church houses the only two sculptures made by the painter Guido Reni representing Saints Peter and Paul and a number of paintings created by the Bolognese. www.genusbononiae.it
