LEYDI, Roberto - scholar and professor of folk culture at the Department of Music and Drama (DAMS) which (with Umberto Eco) he helped found at the University of Bologna, passed away on 15 February 2003. He is (along with Diego Carpitella) considered the founder of ethnomusicology in Italy. Among his specific interests were social and political song, narrative song, liturgical music, and musical instruments. He was instrumental in the Italian folk revival movement. I had the pleasure of meeting Leydi in the 1980s (when I contributed sound recordings of Lombard ballads to a series of Italian field recordings which he directed for the Albatros label). I remember enjoying an afternoon in his impressive sound archive, regaled with snatches of rare and wonderful field recordings, and with his infectious enthusiasm for his work. We mourn the loss of this great man and great scholar, and hope that more of this precious archive might reach our ears in the future. (Luisa Del Giudice)
