In 2010, the Musical Association Giovanni Bottesini organized a concert showcasing some opera arias by Stefano Pavesi. On that occasion, Maestro Aldo Salvagno, Director of the appointed Orchestra, was impressed by the composer from Crema and begun an unremitting research work, which led him to conduct researches in the major European libraries.
The initiative found a first important supporter in the Associazione Popolare Crema for the Territory, but it was only with the introduction of the Società Storica Cremasca and of its president Matteo Facchi that the determining change took place for the achievement of Maestro Salvagno’s project, which finds in this publication the due recognition.
Thanks go also to the Rotary Club Crema, the Municipality of Crema, the Lombardy Region and to the many citizens who, with discretion, support the promotion of our territory.
The enthusiasm and collaboration of many has allowed the addition of a new element in the rediscovery of the amazing musical history of our city.
