One of the main tasks of the Rossini Foundation is the research and dissemination of Rossini’s work thus contributing in spreading its knowledge. The editorial production of the Rossini Foundation is written with clarity and effectiveness.

The Critical Edition of Rossini’s Works is a monumental publishing venture that began in 1971. After years of intense studies and in-depth research, the first volume dedicated to the Gazza ladra was published in 1979.

The series dedicated to Rossini’s Librettos complements the Critical Edition of the Operas/works and presents all the sources of inspiration for each individual title, allowing us to reconstruct the path from the literary progenitor to the libretto used by the composer.

The Rossini Foundation, in collaboration with the Riz and Katyna Ortolani Foundation, has established the Tesi Rossiniane Award, which is awarded to the best Rossini degree and doctoral theses discussed in Italian and foreign universities and conservatoires.
