The Egisto Macchi collection (Grosseto, 4 August 1928 - Montpellier, 8 August 1992) consists of handwritten materials (about 140 pages of sketches, 3700 drafts, 9000 pages of handwritten scores), 26 stage sketches, printed scores, letters and cuttings that document the various compositional stages (from first idea to performance) of his instrumental, vocal and theatre pieces and music for films and documentaries. The collection also includes books consulted by Macchi prior to the creation of a work; handwritten and typed notes with annotations that define specific details of a composition or texts intended for lessons or public talks; annotated scores with pieces by earlier composers; cassettes with recordings of his music; brochures on Italian and foreign events featuring his compositions.


The archive is currently being described. The information available so far concerns correspondence, instrumental and vocal compositions and part of the music for films and documentaries.


For a complete catalogue of the works of Egisto Macchi, also including music whose sources are not held by the Fondazione Giorgio Cini, see Catalogo delle opere, compiled by Daniela Tortora, in Archivio. Musiche del XX Secolo, CIMS, Palermo, 1996 (Monographic issue - Egisto Macchi), pp. 77-127.
