Dear Franco,
this is really amazing: the time passes, but the amount of lute
music waiting to be "novamente messa in luce" ("newly exposed to
light") is growing steadily.
Thank you for your work: I look forward to hear / read from you the
whole story!
All the best,
Luca

Dear All,
In the last months I had the chance to visit a private archive in
Italy, and I discovered 25 manuscripts for lute, archlute,
chitarrino, cetra and theorbo. It's a very large collection of lute
pieces, one of the most important in private hands in the world. The
repertoire is ca. 1590-1640, with some relevant exceptions. Among the
composers included we can find Lorenzino Tracetti, Cavaliere del
Liuto (Tracetti or Pinti), Kapsperger, Piccinini.
The collection included not only lute music, but also harpsichord,
viola da gamba and vocal music.
On April 5th I will discuss in public for the first time this
discovery, in Pesaro, Italy.
I am working on this archive with a little team, the librarian Brunella
Paolini and the scholar Antonio Becchi.
I will give more information in the next period, and I will have the
chance to speak in Autumn about that in Bremen, Tours and London.
I hope this will be of some interest.
All the best,
Franco
