On the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the death of Alessandro Scarlatti and the 340th anniversary of the birth of Domenico Scarlatti, we intend to examine the context in which the Scarlatti family operated, attempting to reconstruct the dense map of their relationships with political and artistic realities. The international colloquium will be an opportunity to reflect on works, but also on biographies, production systems, international relations, and artistic strategies across the continent, from an interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary perspective.

Date: September 5-7, 2025

Venue: National Palace of Mafra / Ajuda Library

Organizers: Divino Sospiro / Centro de Estudos Musicais Setecentistas de Portugal / with the participation of the Centro de Estudos de Teatro da FLUL
