World
The Agnesi nel mondo map illustrates the international dimension of the Agnesi International Competition, which since its first edition has attracted participants not only from all over Italy, but also from geographically distant countries, representing diverse musical cultures.
This international participation reflects a clear vision: to promote talent without borders and foster dialogue between different traditions, schools, and artistic sensibilities. The Agnesi International Competition was founded with the intention of growing over time, increasingly developing internationally, and establishing itself as a meeting place and a hub of excellence for young musicians and composers.
Agnesi nel mondo is the hallmark of a project that looks to the future.
Organizers
Cristina Rampini and Manuel Gervasoniโs long experience in the world of teaching and the desire to valorize historical figures of music have led to the birth of the Agnesi International Music Competition. The competition celebrates Maria Teresa Agnesi, one of the first important female composers of the 18th century, giving space to new talents and promoting musical excellence while respecting her artistic and cultural heritage.
