The Story

The Mozart Italia Association (AMI) of Benevento is the twenty-sixth branch, established on 4 April 2014 by the Mozart Italia Association - national branch of Rovereto, on the initiative of Arnaldo Volani, founder and national president, on the occasion of the second centenary of the death of the Salzburg Genius.

The Mozart Italia Association (AMI) of Benevento, in collaboration with the prestigious Mozarteum of Salzburg and through a dense network of cultural exchanges with the network of over one hundred and seventy Mozartian associations in Europe and the world, carries out cultural-musical initiatives throughout much of the national and international territory.

It was born with the aim of promoting and enhancing the territory, enriching its artistic and cultural heritage and encouraging commercial and tourist development, through its own cultural and musical initiatives.

In particular, the AMI association has the aim of:

• Spread the figure and work of Mozart, a universal and universally loved musician, among young people and the very young, as well as, more generally, great Italian and European music, through awareness-raising campaigns in schools and universities;

• Raise awareness and bring the population closer to classical/symphonic/operatic music, so that it is considered not as distant from life but as part of it, also through information and musical training activities in schools;

• Contribute to the economic and social development of the entire provincial, regional, national and international territory, with activities aimed at promoting and enhancing cultural heritage;

• Stimulate and promote entertainment activities on public and private initiative, at municipal, provincial, regional, national and international level, also in relation to tourism purposes;

• Ensure continuity, development and support of musical and entertainment activities on public and private initiative, support culture and the presence of entertainment in universities and schools.
