The Conservatorio Benedetto Marcello is the Conservatory of the City of Venice . It is equipped with an extensive library .

history

The Conservatorio was founded in 1876 as Liceo Musicale e Società Benedetto Marcello and is named after the composer Benedetto Marcello . The music college is located in the Palazzo Pisani .

The opening took place in April 1877. As an inauguration concert, works by Marcello, Rameau , Bach , Handel and Beethoven were performed under the musical direction of Franco Faccio . One of the most important events of the Lyceum's early years was the visit of Richard Wagner , who conducted a concert in honor of his wife Cosima in 1882 .

The further development was shaped by musicians such as Marco Enrico Bossi and Ermanno Wolf-Ferrari . The First World War interrupted operations. Due to the proximity to the front line, the studies could not be continued from October 1917 to November 1918. The political pressure of the fascist regime on the Lyceum created major problems in the late 1930s. In 1939 the Jewish violinist Giuseppe Sacerdoti murdered himself and left his fortune to pay scholarships for the poorest graduates of the Lyceum. Mezio Agostini , who had run the school for 30 years, was dismissed by the authorities because of "professional unfit". The composer Gian Francesco Malipiero took over the direction .
