About us

The Società Italiana di Musicologia was founded in Milan, at the Giuseppe Verdi Conservatory, on February 29, 1964, as an ideal continuation of the earlier Associazione dei Musicologi Italiani (1908-1942). Guglielmo Barblan was its first elected chairperson. Its first two years were devoted to launching two publications: its house organ, the Rivista Italiana di Musicologia (RIdM), followed by a series called Quaderni della Rivista Italiana di Musicologia.
