Castelfidardo Musica announced with deep sorrow this morning, that Massimo Mazzantini (aged 71 – founder of Castelfidardo Musica) has passed away (July 14th, 2025).

“A reserved man but with a big heart, he dedicated his life to this store and to music, creating a space that was much more than just a store: a place of meeting, listening, passion.”

The shop will remain closed for mourning, “to allow us to gather in silence and in the affection of those close to us.”

“He leaves behind his two daughters, a brother and all those who loved and esteemed him for the great person he was.”

“With respect and immense love, we will carry on his activity, cherishing what he taught us and putting in the heart that he has always passed on to us.”

If you wish to call in, from Tuesday July 15th, at 10.00, viewing will be at the Virgini Mortuary Chamber, Via Donato Bramante, Castelfidardo, Italy.

The funeral will take place on Wednesday July 16th, at 17:00, in the Church of Saint Anthony from Padova, in Castelfidardo (Chiesa di Sant’Antonio da Padova).
