The conservatory "Niccolò Paganini" ( Italian : Conservatorio "Niccolò Paganini" di Genova ) is a conservatory founded in Genoa in 1829 . It is named after the violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini .
location
The Conservatory is located in Villa Sauli Bombrini Doria in Via Albaro 38 in Genoa- Albaro . The Palazzo Senarega-Zoagli ( Piazza Senarega ) in the historic center of Genoa is used as a further venue .
history
The Conservatory traces its beginnings back to a free singing school ( Scuola Gratuita di Canto ) announced on December 12, 1829 in the Gazzetta di Genova and established on January 2, 1830 , which was connected to the new Teatro Carlo Felice . From the 1830/31 season the singing school committed itself to teaching choir students. Modestly housed in an old tenement house in the historic center, the school did not have its own concert hall, which is why it should move to the Grazie monastery. In the course of the First War of Independence , the school was initially closed in 1849.
The city of Genoa then reopened the facility as the Civico Istituto di Musica . In 1866 the move to the premises of the Congregation of the Oratory took place . A close collaboration with the composer Giuseppe Verdi , which the institute was striving for , did not materialize. In 1904 the institute was named after the violin virtuoso Niccolò Paganini, who was born in Genoa . A paganini bronze statue by Guido Galletti is now in the auditorium .
By royal decree Victor Emanuel III. From 1933 the institute was officially put on an equal footing with the state conservatories. As a result of the Lateran Treaty , the institute had to move out of the sacred building in 1936, so that it moved its headquarters to Albaro in the Villa Raggio .
After the Second World War , the institute was temporarily housed in the Palazzo della Meridiana . Since 1972 the seat has been Villa Sauli Bombrini Doria . In 1974 the institute was converted into a state conservatory retroactively for 1967.
