Course description
In a country as Italy is, music is a strategic resource in conceiving modern tourism. This vision depends on the awareness of the historical-musical heritage the country and its traditions express in a great variety of musical heritage and activities. This heritage requires the development of a know-how able to protect and enhance it, in favour both of local cultural identity and of curious and valuable tourists.
The course aims at developing the awareness of Italy’s musical heritage according to a number of aspects: sources, instruments, institutions, compositions, and several musical genres: opera, early, classical, contemporary and popular music. Central issue of the course will be the strategies in acknowledging, preserving, managing and enhancing the Country’s (and Liguria’s) musical heritage.
Lo studente imparerà ad analizzare e comprendere nelle sue diverse componenti l'offerta musicale del territorio, in termini di beni, tangibili e intangibili e manifestazioni. Discuterà su come si organizza una stagione musicale, un cartellone operistico, un evento singolo o una manifestazione complessa come un festival, tenendo conto delle diverse variabili di natura economica, logistica, artistica e paesaggistica. Prenderà coscienza dell'impianto normativo vigente e delle risorse potenzialmente disponibili. Istituirà un raffronto tra la vita musicale e teatrale, tra manifestazioni e istituzioni in Italia e in altri Paesi. Potrà dimostrare le competenze analitiche e progettuali sviluppate attraverso l'analisi di casi specifici su cui si sarà esercitato.
