Nicolò Ferrari is Assistant Professor in the Institute of Art of the Polish Academy of Sciences. As a cultural historian specialised in music and written cultures of late medieval and early modern Europe, Nicolò’s research lies at the intersection of historical musicology, manuscript studies, and digital humanities, with a particular interest on polyphonic music between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries. After studying musicology at the University of Pavia in Cremona, Nicolò moved to the UK where they obtained a doctorate with a dissertation on the polyphonic masses of the fifteenth-century composer, Fremin le Caron. Between 2021 and 2023, Nicolò was a Research Associate at the University of Manchester, where they worked on the catalogue raisonnée of the manuscripts of the Fondo Cappella Sistina of the Vatican Library. In 2023, Nicolò held an Initiative Geisteswissenschaften (IGW) fellowship at Universität Zürich, with a project exploring the emerging field of digital codicology, and examining digitization practices for medieval and early modern music sources. In 2024, Nicolò held a 4-month research fellowship at KU Leuven, working on the music manuscripts held at KBR—Royal Library of Belgium.
