This contains not only short notices on artists and current repertory, but also substantial reviews of musical events in Milan held at theaters such as the Teatro di Santa Radegonda and the Teatro Re. Important singers are regularly reviewed in the Gazzetta, and biographical sketches and studies of singers, instrumentalists and composers provide an extremely rich repository of information. Letters from correspondents commenting on the musical life in Italian cities other than Milan follow the reviews. Carlo Andrea Gambini, for example, writes from Genoa, Luigi Ferdinando Casamorata from Florence, and Angelo Catalani from Modena. For many years, the Paris correspondent Achille Montignani provided insightful observations regarding Italian music and musicians active in the French capital and in London.
Many articles are unsigned, but several Italian writers are identified.
