The article first provides an account of nobiliary archives as a source for the history of music, by surveying the extant historiography on the question and emphasizing the main methodological problems raised by this kind of collection. Discussion then focuses on the Lante della Rovere collection, preserved in the Archivio di Stato of Rome. After a general presentation of the seventeenth-century documents contained in this collection, among which different subgroups may be distinguished, the author offers a broad sketch of the variety of the documents - financial records, inventories of goods and correspondence - in which information can be found on the persons, events and practices associated with musical life in Roman families. In fine, this case study makes it possible to state some methodological principles that are valuable for further research.
