معرفی
Federico Lazzaro is a Full Professor at the Department of Musicology, University of Fribourg, where he has been since 2022. His research focuses on the cultural history of music in France during the Third Republic (1870-1940), examining intersections between music and phenomena like artistic migration, press, sport, and technology. He has edited key anthologies and led editorial projects such as Gli spazi della musica and the Revue musicale OICRM.
- Doctorates from Università di Pavia (2011) and Université de Montréal (2015)
- Postdoctoral work at McGill University and University of Ottawa
- Visiting researcher at Université libre de Bruxelles

His work explores the discourse on music (criticism, aesthetics, historiography), music and sport (e.g., Olympic musical narratives), national and cosmopolitan identities in musical contexts, and the musicodramatic complex. He analyzes how composers' websites perpetuate traditional self-representation models and underutilize digital mediation for contemporary music. His publications frequently address 19th-20th century French musical press, modernist aesthetics, and interdisciplinary cultural practices.
Recent articles examine music's role in sporting events, neoclassical debates in interwar criticism, and technological influences on composition. His book Écoles de Paris en musique (2018) won multiple awards, including the H. Robert Cohen/RIPM Prize and Paul-Gérin-Lajoie Star Researcher Award.

His editorial work includes coordinating reviews for Cahiers de la Société québécoise de recherche en musique and interim leadership of Revue musicale OICRM.
