Francesco II D’Este 1660-1694
Principe della Musica

In 1673 Francesco d’Este, at the age of 14, became ruler of the Duchy of Modena & Reggio and for twenty years dedicated himself to his main passion: music.

The recording and research project “Francesco II D’Este, Principe della Musica (1660-1694)” represents an anthology from the prestigious music collection of the Estense Library.

Grandezze & Meraviglie entrusts the project to the Modena Baroque ensemble that involves young musicians and researchers from different parts of Italy. Modena Barocca plays vintage instruments or faithful copies.

How we will use your support:

You will participate in a cultural project and contribute to its realization. The young musicians of Modena Barocca will see their first recording come to life as a result of research and creative commitment.

Thank you!
