News from the Media Library!

Free Lute, Theorbo and Baroque Guitar Seminar
with Franco Pavan, Modena, December 13-16, 2025

The free seminar will be dedicated mainly to in-depth analysis of the musical texts preserved at Grandezze & Meraviglie’s Media Library , coming from the collections of Mirco Caffagni and Maurizio Pratola.

The vastness of this heritage allows us to explore a large part of lute repertoire, both in solo literature and in that for two instruments. Baroque lutenists, theorbists and guitarists are welcome.
