The music libraries of the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini of Naples and of the Conservatoire of Paris were founded in the same years with the common aim of serving teaching and becoming key places for the construction of a collective memory. Starting from the illustration of the relationships between the two urban centers, this volume analyzes the first decades of life of the two libraries by looking at the different ways of increasing the collections, showing the general interest of the French for the Neapolitan musical heritage and identifying the papers that migrated from Naples to Paris in the Napoleonic era. Through the analysis of archival documents, scores, correspondence of the Napoleonic emissaries in Italy, largely unpublished, a chapter of musical history is narrated, intertwined with the operations of subtraction of works of art carried out by Napoleon's officials in Italy.
