Musica Antica a Magnano is a non-profit association founded in 1986 to promote a [http://www.musicaanticamagnano.com?l=en&p=concerts festival] offering an opportunity to hear historically informed performances of early music on original instruments. The Festival concerts are held in August and early September in either a 12th-century church San Secondo or in the town's 18th-century church. The latter also houses an organ built in 1794 by Giovanni Bruna and restored by Italo Marzi.
