The "Centro Studi e Ricerche Giovanni Tebaldini" was founded at Ascoli Piceno in 1999 by Anna Maria Novelli and Luciano Marucci with the aim to spread the knowledge of G. Tebaldini’s complex character and his manysided work.
At present we find publications, articles from magazines and daily papers, scores, documents, letters, unpublished writings and a number of photos at the Archives of the "Centro".
Tracing of documents in public and clerical archives as well as in private collections has recently been done, and duplicates of essays and articles have enriched the Centro Studi as well as led to a nearly complete bibliography devided into "works by" and "works about" Tebaldini, all carried out with a good help from the music section of the Library Palatina in Parma.
After longlasting researches in Italy as well as abroad, almost all Tebaldini’s scores have been found and photocopied thus making it possible to complete a catalogue of his published and unpublished compositions (sacre, profane, re-elaborations and arrangements), with information about when and where they were performed and explicative notes added.
The "Centro" publishes articles and books, gives a helping hand with thesis for students’ or doctors’ degrees and also helps organize cultural events regarding Tebaldini and his work.
There was a vivid activity of cooperation between the "Centro" and those who set up meetings and performances to pay homage to the musician throughout the 50th anniversary of his death in 2002, and several events were recorded and filmed in order to build up a sound - and image - centre.
Day by day the number of duplicates of Tebaldini’s correspondence with influential scholars as well as documents regarding him filed by musical funds, grows in the archives of the "Centro".
In order to re-estimate Tebaldini’s work better, the Province Board of Ascoli Piceno saw the importance of an on-line documentation and the web-site is directly managed and quikly updated by the "Centro".
A virtual exhibition called Fisiognomica ideale related to the character and the activity of the Maestro has also been set up, and well known artists had an active part in the realization of the exhibition.
In these days some unpublished texts from conferences, classes and general notes that have been found lately are being written down, and among them are about 600 letters between Tebaldini and Pizzetti.
Since 2006 the "Centro" has taken advantage of Professor Dino Rizzo’s (Busseto) cooperation with the publishing of critical editions of Tebaldini’s profane and sacred compositions. 

Since 2007 the Fondazione Ugo e Olga Levi in Venice has begun to realize events that can help give light and importance to Tebaldini as a composer and musicologist and it is at present the legal site of "Centro Tebaldini".
At the same time the "Centro" has started a cooperation with the Corale Polifonica "Giovanni Tebaldini" of San Benedetto del Tronto (director Guerrino Tamburrini), with the Associazione Corale-Culturale "Filippo Marchetti" of Camerino (director Lamberto Lugli) and with International Festival "Settembre in Musica" of Ascoli Piceno (director Michael Flaksman) which periodically have works of Tebaldini on their programmes.
The "Centro" which is a non-profit association, can count on a number of people that make themselves useful:

• Roberto Betti, web-designer,  and Gianluca Silvi site updates

• Marta Farina, Gina Quattrini e Gianluca Silvi, digital copy of handwritten correspondence and unpublished texts

• Kari Moum, translations into English

• Raffaella Nardella, Pier Luigi Gaiatto, Mariella Sala, Mario G. Genesi, bibliographic and musicological research respectivly in Parma, Veneto, Brescia, Piacenza

• Ettore Tavoletti (Up Studio) e Alberto Mariotti, photos and videofilms.
