This article by Nicola Tangari features an extensive conversation with Giacomo Baroffio, tracing the key milestones of his career and his seminal contribution to medieval studies and liturgical musicology. Blending biographical narrative with methodological reflection, the dialogue explores the profound connection between the philological study of manuscripts and the spiritual dimension of Gregorian chant. Baroffio emphasizes the importance of viewing the liturgical repertoire not merely as a static aesthetic object, but as a living organism rooted in prayer, while offering a critical analysis of the current state of sacred music and the urgent need to restore its ritual dignity and textual integrity.
