So as a family we felt on one side only right, the other natural, give back to the community of S.Martino in Rio as in life he had produced , may be due to what Henghel had received from its territory. The foundation of the Henghel Gualdi Association, by a group of musicians and friends, and wih the collaboration with the municipal administration, were given more impetus to this project of the open archive for library housed in a prestigious Henghel Gualdi room on the main floor of the Rocca estense, of great interest to scholars and musicologists ".
