Santini's Netzwerk (original title: La Rete di Santini ) is a staged documentary by the German filmmaker Georg Brintrup from 2014 . The film tells the life of the Roman music collector Fortunato Santini (1777–1861) and the story of his then largest private musical collection in the world.
action
The film tells one of the strangest cultural characteristics of Europe: The Roman Abbate Fortunato Santini, played by the Italian actor Renato Scarpa already discovered twenty extraordinary passion for itself: the collection of music manuscripts . It became his life's task to compile a collection of music , autographs and copies of early music, such as had never existed before in Italy or anywhere else in the world. He can only achieve this goal through personal and international relationships: his means is a sophisticated network that extends across Europe . His motto: give, trade, exchange. - 50 years later, this collection has grown to become the "most complete music library" in the world with its 20,000 titles in 4,500 manuscripts and 1,200 prints. Many forgotten works of the great European music history, which might have been lost, have only survived today thanks to Santini's collector's instinct. The film tells not only the genesis of this collection, but also its fate after Santini's death: how it came about that it "landed" in Münster in Westphalia in 1862, how it was forgotten there for 40 years and then by the English music researcher Edward Dent is rediscovered in 1902. And how it survived the fire bombing attacks in World War II but was subsequently partially damaged by a flood disaster.
background
The film works dramaturgically on several temporal levels and "effortlessly changes from the staged past to the real present and still focuses on the future of research". Historical scenes from Santini's life correspond with rehearsals and concerts by the Italian ensemble Seicentonovecento and the Cappella Musicale di Santa Maria dell'Anima under Flavio Colusso and the Capella Ludgeriana under Andreas Bolldendorf in Münster Cathedral. The director Georg Brintrup moves in the border area between staging , documentation and essay . Dramaturgically, the pendulum swings in the direction of documentation.
