Composers from Emilia Romagna

This section gathers the works and biographies of composers who lived in or were somehow connected to the musical scene of Emilia Romagna between the 19th and 20th centuries. Alongside the names of more well-known composers like Ottorino Respighi, you will also find works by composers often forgotten by official circuits.

Some, like Carlo Musi, a self-taught musician, produced only music for dialect songs aimed at a more popular audience. Others, despite having received formal musical training and gained recognition during their careers, have been forgotten by official circles.
