Prof. Giovanni Zanovello’s research was recently featured in the Radiotelevisione italiana‘s Radio 3, the cultural channel of Italian public radio. It appeared in episode 8 of the series “Renaissance Music in Ten Objects,” with Gaia Varon and Vincenzo Borghetti.
The project–inspired by Neil MacGregor’s fortunate A History of the World in 100 Objects (broadcast on BBC Channel 4 and later published as a book in 2010–looks at the Renaissance soundscape through the original lens of material history. In the scholarly contribution, narrated by Borghetti and Varon in this episode, Zanovello describes the sounds heard in the Florentine church of Santissima Annunziata, and evokes the special meanings and identities channeled by each of them.
