Tre manoscritti conservati nella Biblioteca Comunale di Urbania contengono arie e cantate adespote; un quarto contiene arie di Giacomo Antonio Perti. Lo studio di quest’ultimo ha permesso di identificare i brani in esso contenuti come arie tratte da opere rappresentate a Roma nel 1696; la provenienza romana del codice è rilevabile da dati materiali come la legatura, la carta e la mano del copista. Di due degli altri manoscritti è stato possibile stabilire una collocazione romana prima di tutto grazie all’identificazione di alcuni degli autori – fra i quali Luigi Rossi, Orazio Michi dall’Arpa e Stefano Landi –, ma anche grazie ad alcuni dati materiali come la mano di almeno uno dei copisti e le filigrane. Si tratta quindi di una ricca testimonianza del repertorio vocale da camera diffuso a Roma nella prima metà del Seicento. Infine nell’ultimo manoscritto esaminato sono state identificate arie tratte da opere rappresentate a Venezia nella stagione 1704: in particolare si tratta di opere di Francesco Gasparini, Antonio Giannettini, Giuseppe Aldrovandini, Carlo Francesco Pollarolo. Alcune di queste arie rappresentano l’unica testimonianza musicale dell’opera di appartenenza. Di tutti i quattro manoscritti viene presentato lo spoglio con l’indicazione dell’autore della musica e del testo, ove è stato possibile identificarli, con la segnalazione delle eventuali concordanze rilevate e altri dati utili alla loro contestualizzazione

Abstract
There are three manuscripts preserved in the Biblioteca Comunale di Urbania with anonymous arias and cantatas; the fourth contains arias by Giacomo Antonio Perti. Study of the fourth manuscript led to identification of the pieces as arias from operas performed at Rome in 1696; the Roman provenance of the codex was also detectable from data like the binding, the paper, and the handwriting of the copyist. The Roman origin of two other manuscripts was also ascertained thanks first of all to the identification of several of the composers, including Luigi Rossi, Orazio Michi dell’Arpa, and Stefano Landi, but also to data such as the handwriting of the copyists and the watermarks. These manuscripts are a valuable testimony of the chamber vocal repertoire current in Rome during the first half of the 17th century. Finally, arias in the last manuscript examined were identified as taken from operas by Francesco Gasparini, Antonio Giannettini, Giuseppe Aldrovandini, and Carlo Francesco Pollarolo performed in Venice during the 1704 season. Some arias however are all that remains of the original opera.
