CIP-ICT PSP Call 4 32 Pilot B [Imperialle] B3.1.12 International Mozarteum Foundation, Salzburg, Austria (ISM) Role: content provider The International Mozarteum Foundation was founded in 1880 by citizens of the city of Salzburg and is rooted in the Cathedral Music Association and Mozarteum of 1841. Since then the prime concern of the non-profit organisation has been the person and œuvre of Wolfgang Amadé Mozart. The organisation of concerts, the Mozart museums and academic research are three core areas whereby a link is created between preserving and fostering tradition and a contemporary view. The aim is to open up changing perspectives and new approaches to the analysis of the composer. ISM houses the largest collection of primary documents (letters, documents) related to the Mozart family from the period ca. 1750 to 1858. These include more than 50% of all extant autograph letters by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) and even greater portions of the letters by other members of the family. Furthermore the ISM possesses a large number of autograph manuscripts (ca. 80 items) and early authorised copies from the earliest until the latest periods of Mozart’s creative career. Not only the compositions by Mozart have rightly been regarded as masterpieces of European culture, but also the letters since they shed vivid light on 18thcentury cultural life in Europe. Their contribution to the European cultural heritage and the interest they have received beyond circles of special lists is documented by numerous editions since the 19th century and by ongoing projects such as European Mozart Ways (http://www.mozartways.com/).

Role: content provider The Fondazione Museo del Tesoro del Duomo e Archivio Capitolare of Vercelli, founded 2005, is committed to the task of protecting, managing and disseminating the artistic, bibliographical, historical and religious cultural heritage preserved in the Museo del Tesoro del Duomo (opened in May 2000) as well as the Chapter Library and Archives. Vercelli is the oldest diocese in the Piedmont (before the mid-4 th century, a bishopric) and over the centuries has witnessed important historical moments. It has thus become the guardian of art treasures of international importance, which in part have been made available to the public thanks to the Fondazione Museo del Tesoro del Duomo e Archivio Capitolare. Safeguarding this important heritage is the primary task of the Foundation, which in recent years has pursued that aim by promoting exhibitions as well as scholarly and cultural initiatives, often together with other
