Abstract
Within the context of the rediscovery and reconstruction of the complex artistic panorama of the early 18th century, this thesis aims to propose the reconstruction of the biographical and vocal profile of Giovanna Albertini, known as La Reggiana, a contralto active in the first thirty years of the 18th century. This will be done by examining indirect sources such as chronicles, letters, and documents, as well as literary and musical sources that allow us to reconstruct an idea of the singer's vocal profile, within the limits that such an operation encounters. The last part of the study proposes a series of comparisons with some female contraltos and castrato contraltos in order to contextualize Giovanna Albertini' s vocal profile.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
