The Pierfranco and Luisa Mariani Foundation Since its beginnings in 1985, the Mariani Foundation has established itself as a leading organization in the field of paediatric neurology by organizing a variety of advanced courses, providing research grants, and supporting specialized care. [...] In 2009 it became the first private entity in Italy to join the founding members of the National Neurologic Institute “Carlo Besta” in Milan. [...] In addition to its services, the Foundation aims, through its continuing medical education courses and publications, to spread knowledge in the field of paediatric neurology in order to help treat or alleviate a large number of paediatric neurologic disorders. [...] In the year 2000, the Mariani Foundation has added a new and important dimension to its activities: fostering the study of the multiple links between the neurosciences and music, including music education and early intervention. [...] The next congress is planned for 2021 in Aarhus, Denmark, in collaboration with the Center for Music in the Brain.
