Un modello di direzione artistica collegiale

L’entourage del conte Guido Chigi Saracini

Abstract

This article examines the artistic direction of the Accademia Musicale Chigiana from Alfredo Casellas tenure (1939–1947­) to Mario Fabbris appointment in 1963. Contrary to common perception, the formal role of the artistic director was primarily limited to programming the Settimana Musicale Senese, while most of the Academys key artistic and cultural decisions were shaped by a wide circle of trusted collaborators of Count Guido Chigi Saracini. From Casellas years onward, a model of collegiate artistic leadership emerged, in which figures such as Sebastiano Arturo Luciani, Virgilio Mortari, Antonio Bruers, Vito Frazzi, Giorgio Federico Ghedini, Olga Rudge, Francesco Cilea, Guglielmo Barblan, Adelmo Damerini, Franco Schlitzer, Federico Mompellio, Guido Turchi, Alfredo Bonaccorsi, Gino Roncaglia, Giulio Confalonieri, and Vittorio Baglioni formed a stable entourage that guided and shaped the Academys artistic choices for approximately thirty years. Occasional appointments of other artistic directors, including Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari, Antonio Guarnieri, and Alceo Galliera, played a marginal role compared with this established collegial structure, which consistently assisted the Count in dening the Academys cultural orientation and artistic decisions.
