Subject of this study is the relation between music and church institutions in early modern Italy. Beginning with a reappraisal of the historiographic concept of ‘church institution’, the author tries to establish a dialogue between church historiography and musicology, since the one rarely considered music as part of its research objects, and the latter studied church music mainly as an artistic product, rarely connecting it to the institution it was part of and which promoted and made use of it.
