The Conservatorio di Musica Santa Cecilia is a state conservatory in Rome.

History[]

The institution has its roots dated back to the Congregazione de' musici di Roma named after Saint Cecilia in 1565 (now Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia). Since the early 19th-century there was need of a music school in the institution. It was only due to the famed pianist Giovanni Sgambati that led to the opening of the musical institute on 23 May 1870.[1]

In 1911, the Liceo Musicale became an independent entity, and was nationalized in 1919. Only after, it assumed its current name.[1]

Since the 2008/09 academic year, the conservatory also operates at the Parco della Musica Villa Battistini in Rieti.[2] The branch at Sant'Andrea delle Fratte was inaugurated on 1 October 2013.[3]

On 29 January 2020, following the confirmation of the first cases of COVID-19 in Italy, the director of the conservatory Roberto Giuliani suspended lessons for Eastern students and imposed compulsory doctor's visit in order for them to return.[4][5]
