Ruspoli International Competition: Where History Meets Performance

In this institutional video, we dive into the unique atmosphere of Ruspoli Castle in Vignanello, a place steeped in centuries of musical and cultural history. The video introduces the Ruspoli International Competition, a pioneering initiative that, since 2009, has sought to revive the glorious past of the Ruspoli family’s patronage.

Unlike other awards, this competition brings together young musicologists and musicians: while researchers uncover unpublished works, talented performers bring them back to life in the very same rooms where masters like Handel, Scarlatti, and Caldara once performed. Watch and discover how the Centro Studi Ruspoli continues to be a point of reference for Baroque music in Europe.
