Dal buio alla luce

La riemersione dell’Archivio e della Biblioteca della Chigiana

Abstract

This essay offers an update to a previous contribution published in the first volume of the third series of Chigiana. Journal of Musicological Studies (49, 2019, pp. 367–382). As well as revisiting the contents and internal structure of both the Archive and the Library, and recalling the preliminary steps already undertaken — such as the declaration of cultural interest, which forms the basis for state protection — the article details the actions carried out thus far. These initiatives mark the beginning of a complex process of cataloguing and enhancing the value of this extraordinary archival and bibliographic heritage. Looking ahead, the successful completion of this work will require the engagement of a broad network of public and private stakeholders. Through a formal memorandum of understanding, each partner could contribute according to their resources and capacities to the shared goal of restoring the Chigiana’s collections to their rightful place as a primary source for musicological research.
