Ricordi’s two hundred years.

January 11, 2008 was an important day in celebration of the bicentennial of Casa Ricordi. People gathered to celebrate a company that established a true cultural system known and respected in Europe and throughout the world; a company that contributed in a significant manner toward the musical growth of the country.

The day began with a press conference, which was held at the Braidense National Library in Milan.  During this occasion, the vast cultural projects planned for 2008 by the Ricordi National Committee were presented.

The initiatives were explained by Tino Cennamo, President of the Ricordi National Committee, Vittorio Sgarbi, Cultural Assessor for the City of Milan, Maurizio Fallace, General Manager of the Heritage of Books and Cultural Institutes, Mario Miscali, Commissioner of the Cariplo Fund and Camillo Ricordi, family descendent.

The second event of the day for celebrating the bicentennial of Casa Ricordi was the “Two Centuries of Great History”, exhibit.  The exhibit was held in the splendid Maria Teresa Room of the Braidense Library and depicted the two hundred years of the most famous musical house in the world through a display of unique documents that have been conserved in the Ricordi Historical Archives. Thanks to well-planned arrangements, this documentation treasure was offered for public viewing in all of its unaltered splendor.
