Associated with Dante and the Divine Comedy is also one of Franz Liszt’s most experimental works: his Dante-Symphonie, which the composer had originally hoped to present in an audio-visual performance of new conception. The work, which was praised also by Wagner as an example of music with a strong and innovative significance, was never performed in the composer’s lifetime as he had originally conceived it, but only in concert form. The events in Rome for the sixth centenary of Dante’s birth, however, gave Liszt the opportunity to connect the work to an exhibition of paintings on Dante subjects organized by Romualdo Gentilucci and inaugurated in Rome on 26 February 1866. On this occasion the composer was the recipient of a poetic tribute from Domenico Venturini, a writer from Roman academic circles, who dedicated two sonnets to the composer and his Dante-Symphonie, that were also published by L'Osservatore Romano.

The Soundscape of the Venetian Terraferma in the Early Modern Era is an international conference organized by the Accademia Filarmonica of Verona on the occasion of the 475th anniversary of its foundation (23 May 1543), in collaboration with the University of Verona, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, the University of St Andrews and the Conservatorio “E. F. Dall’Abaco” of Verona. Natural sequel to The Soundscape of Early Modern Venice (Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, 24-27 May 2017 – Visit the Venice conference web section ), this further initiative has the aim of increasing debate on the varied soundscape of the Venetian Terraferma in the early modern period. This territory, which stretched from Bergamo in the west to the Friulian Alps in the north-east and the river Po at the Republic’s southern extremity, formed one of the three subdivisions of the Serenissima; the others were the Dogado (Venice and surrounding area) and the Stato da mar (Venetian possessions in the eastern Adriatic and Mediterranean areas). The articulate system that regulates musical and non-musical sound in the Venetian territories prior to the fall of the Serenissima in 1797 is highly conducive to an interdisciplinary approach which draws on the new perspectives offered by urban history, humanistic geography and historical anthropology. Emblematic, in this sense, are the activities of the Accademia Filarmonica, which have dominated almost five centuries of local musical history.

Project of Accademia Filarmonica di Verona, Conservatorio Statale di Musica di Verona and Fondazione Cariverona. The project aims to study and publish in a diplomatic edition (with summaries, essays and chronology) the documents produced by the Accademia Filarmonica di Verona from its foundation (1543) to the begining of the twentieth century. The first three volumes of the project (1543-1605, 1605-1634, 1637-1733) were published in 2015.
The project was funded from 2004 to 2006 by Fondazione Cariverona; since 2007 it has been funded by the Accademia Filarmonica di Verona.
