Marco Bizzarini is an Italian musicologist and professor of musicology at the University of Naples Federico II. His research focuses on early modern music, music historiography, and the methodological challenges facing contemporary musicology in the digital age.

Research and Academic Profile
Bizzarini's work spans historical musicology, with particular attention to the relationship between musical sources, historiographical practices, and the cultural contexts in which music is produced and studied. In recent years, his research has increasingly addressed broader epistemological questions concerning the production, organization, and transmission of knowledge in the humanities.

Sustainable Musicology
He is the author of the book Sustainable Musicology. A Paradigm Shift across the Humanities (Naples, FedOA Press, 2026), an open-access book that proposes a rethinking of musicological practices in response to the growing complexity of contemporary research environments.
The concept of “sustainable musicology” is understood here in epistemological terms: it concerns research practices that remain coherent, accessible, and meaningful over time in an age characterized by information overload, digital proliferation, and artificial intelligence.
The book is available in open access via FedOA - Federico II University Press.

Publications and Open Access
Bizzarini is actively engaged in promoting open-access scholarship and the wider dissemination of research in the humanities. His publications are indexed in major academic databases and repositories, including Google Scholar and the Directory of Open Access Books (DOAB).

Current Interests
His current work explores:
- the impact of digital technologies and AI on musicological research
- the sustainability of scholarly communication
- the role of musicology in contemporary society
