The project, promoted by the Conservatory of Benevento in collaboration with the Conservatory of Campobasso and the Pegaso University, aims to strengthen the international strategy of two institutions of higher artistic and musical education in southern Italy (AFAM), renowned for their contribution to Italy’s musical heritage. In this context, Pegaso University will play a strategic role in the digitization of Beneventan manuscripts, making them accessible online not only to experts in the field but also to a wider, non-specialized audience. This initiative not only enhances local cultural heritage but also promotes the enjoyment and knowledge of Italian musical history, contributing to greater inclusivity and the dissemination of culture.
The “Nicola Sala” State Conservatory of Music in Benevento is an institution of higher artistic, musical, and choreutic education, recognized nationally and internationally for the quality and breadth of its educational offerings. Founded with the aim of promoting musical culture and training professionals in the field, the Conservatory has evolved over time, becoming a cultural and educational reference point for students, professional teachers, and music enthusiasts.
