This is the catalogue of the titles available. There are currently
more than 40,000.
Due to the fact that much of the material has been given to us for
consultation purposes only, it will not be possible to listen to this
material on the internet. If you would like to listen to them
immediately, please come to visit us at our Naples branch or when the
Archives are presented in different locations.
However you can check the quality and the dimensions by informing us
of any recordings that are missing and, whenever possible, placing
them at our disposal.
Whoever owns recordings of Neapolitan music or songs and wants to
place them at our disposal for digitalisation can contact us at our
addresses. The material that it lent to us will be returned once it
has been copied and in the notes of origin it will be catalogued with
the wording "Kindly submitted by .....".
As you can see every music performance is completely different from
the rest. Therefore only one version of a song exists which is
performed by the same singer (the only exception being the two
entirely different interpretations of So' bammenella 'e copp' 'e
quartiere by Angela Luce). Please inform us of any other duplicates.
SEARCH
As far as consultation is concerned, please follow these simple rules:
1. Write the title (or part of the title) using the correct Neapolitan
spelling. Therefore Malafemmena and not
Malafemmina, Anema e core rather than Anima e cuore.
2. Write the first name of the author or the performer before the
surname. Therefore Salvatore Di Giacomo rather than Di Giacomo
Salvatore or just Di Giacomo.
3. The minimum term search is 3 letters. Partial terms can also be
inserted.
