The Fondazione Paolo Grassi is a private-­‐public body with the participation of public governments (Apuly Region, Province of Taranto, Municipality of Martina Franca, Municipality of Cisternino) and private associations (Festival della Valle d’Itria).
The Foundation is named in honour of Paolo Grassi, who founded the Piccolo Teatro of Milan, and was the superintendant of the Teatro alla Scala and the chairman of RAI.
The Foundation was set in 1994 as no-­‐profit body and supports, develops and spreads the theatre and musical culture. The Foundation keeps supporting, every year, the Festival of Valle d’Itria production, a well known International festival that discovers and performs unpublished or rare operas, also preparing the audience to attend to the performances.
Among the activities of the Foundation a very special place is taken by educational activities and development of conscious approach to the performing arts. The Foundation, which owns a library of more than 25.000 items on the topic of music and theatres (books, dvd, cds, vynils), is very active in the field of lifelong education for music and theatre and develops programmes as “Bambini… all’Opera!” dedicated to a new approach of the young people to the classical music and opera, “Accademia dello Spettatore”, whose aims are to motivate the research, promoting plans and grants related to the cultural, artistic, historical, natural heritage, to support the young talents; to emphasise the meaning of the theatre and musical sector.
