1 As of spring of 2017, as many as 115 libraries, 31 museums and cultural institutions, and 9 local government organizations (enti locali) have shared their bibliographic information, digitized materials and other data with Internet culturale. The complete list is available at www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/main/partner/. A list of institutions that share a substantial amount of music-related digitized materials through Internet culturale is available in this review’s Appendix.

3 A crucial resource in the communication process between IC and the participating institutions is the Metadati amministrativi e gestionali or MAG (Administrative and Management Metadata). ‘MAG … is an application profile developed with the main goal of promoting among Italian cultural organizations the aggregation of a least common set of technical and management metadata to guarantee the good submission and transfer of metadata and cultural digital objects’. Feliciati, Pierluigi, ‘MAG, an Italian XML Application Profile for the Submission and Transfer of Metadata and Digitized Cultural Contents’, in Scientific Computing and Cultural Heritage: Contributions in Computational Humanities, ed.

4 According to the video tutorial available on the IC website (www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/video.html), the most important sources for the bibliographic information are the SBN, the Censimento nazionale delle edizioni italiane del XVI secolo or Edit 16 (National Census of Sixteenth-Century Italian Editions), and the Censimento dei manoscritti delle biblioteche italiane or Manus (Census of Manuscripts Held in Italian Libraries).

5 The sample searches mentioned in this review were conducted in the spring of 2017.

6 Immediately below, under the category Autore, the user will find not only Giuseppe Verdi and the librettist Salvatore Cammarano, but also some of the most important singers, conductors and musicians who have performed La battaglia di Legnano.

8 www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/pagine/percorsi/pagina_759.html.

9 The webpage that lists all the virtual rooms associated with Opera in scena can be found at www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/pagine/percorsi/pagina_773.html.

10 The IC webpage of the Casa della musica is www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/main/partner/istituto_6.html. More details on the Casa della musica later in this review.

11 The Sala 1600 focuses on drawings and pictures of theatres, the Sala 1700 contains images of billboards (some of them, surprisingly, from the 1800s) and modern images of opera houses built in the 1700s, and the Sala 1800 concentrates on billboards and pictures of singers. Pictures of composers are available in each virtual room, particularly in the Sala 1800.

12 The Advanced Search is at www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/ricercaAvanzata.jsp.

13 The links to these sections are visible in the upper left corner of the IC homepage. They translate, respectively, as: Explore, Tools, Partners and Map.

14 Those collections and exhibitions currently listed are: Album Verdi, Archivio dei periodici musicali italiani, Bicentenario verdiano 2013, Collezione Verdi Puccini dell’Archivio storico Ricordi, Composizioni sacre e strumentali di Johann Simon Mayr, Fondo pucciniano Bonturi-Razzi, Gaspare Spontini nella Biblioteca comunale Planettiana di Jesi, Giacomo Puccini: Dagli anni di formazione ai primi traguardi, Gioachino Rossini e il suo tempo, Giuseppe Verdi: Guida ipertestuale alla vita, all’opera e all’interpretazione, Giuseppe Verdi: Un mito italiano, Libretti dell’Archivio storico Ricordi, Libretti per musica della Torino dei secoli 18° e 19°, Musiche autografe di Gaetano Donizetti nelle collezioni civiche di Bergamo.

15 The list of links is found at www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/main/strumenti/link/.

16 The Strumenti section also hosts a link to a webpage that bears a promising title – Repertori digitali – but unfortunately it contains no music-related content.

17 IC mentions only Biblioteche but the correct entry would be Biblioteche e archivi.

18 The Biblioteche webpage is at www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/main/partner/biblioteche/.

19 The IC webpage of the Archivio storico Ricordi is at www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/main/partner/istituto_41.html.

20 For details concerning the collaboration between the Ricordi archives and IC, see the following webpage: www.archivioricordi.com/it/main/risorse.

22 For the link to the IC webpage of the Casa della musica, see note 10. The IC webpage of CIRPeM is at www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/main/partner/istituto_0008.html. The Casa della musica homepage is www.lacasadellamusica.it/. The CIRPeM homepage is cirpem.lacasadellamusica.it/. The information about the Casa della musica and CIRPeM in this review is from these webpages and homepages.

23 See http://cirpem.lacasadellamusica.it/cirpem-2.htm#CIRPeM.

24 In order to utilize this option, one should click on Accedi alla collezione from the following webpage: www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/collezioni/collezione_0048.html.

25 As mentioned above, CIRPeM has indexed approximately 1,600 music periodicals, but the other institutions that share their digitized content through IC do not provide equally detailed information. This is why it is not possible to determine the exact number of journals accessible through IC.

26 The Archivio eventi e novità webpage is at www.internetculturale.it/opencms/opencms/it/archivionovita/

27 Out of the 165 entries listed under Collezioni digitali, 39 (23.6 per cent) primarily or completely focus on music.
