Le attività musicali nelle Università italiane: funzioni sociali, culturali e formative

Abstract

Musical activities play an important role in the life of modern universities, and are internationally recognized as a strategic and defining element of university policy, also from the point of view of the cultural education of students. The best universities around the world are committed to designing, supporting, managing and coordinating musical initiatives within the academic community, and are setting up appropriate organizational structures for this purpose. This contribution addresses the issue in relation to the Italian situation, also in view of the so-called "Third Mission".
