Historical Academy founded in Florence in 1563 by Cosimo I de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany at the suggestion of Giorgio Vasari, as a leading exponent of the Florentine artistic current known as Musica d'Arte (Visual Music and Fluxus).

[9] His education, in both music and the visual arts, has placed him in the position to incorporate sign, colour, and sound into a unitary concept of multiple perception, through analogies, contrasts, stratifications, and associations.

These musicians have experimented the interaction among sound, sign and vision, a synaesthetics of art derived from historical avant-gardes, from Kandinskij to futurism, to Scrjabin and Schoenberg, all the way to Bauhaus.

His work in the eighties is also based in involving, with didactic-educational projects, students as executors of performances in the example of the Music Circus carried out in 1984 in a High School in Piemonte by John Cage.

And it is the American musician (met in 1991 in Zurich for the execution of Europeras 1&2 [16][17])who appreciates this aspect of Maltagliati's work, because he is able to involve young people as performers.

Since 1997,[18] Sergio Maltagliati has dealt principally in music on the Internet[19] and one of his first compositions intended for the network, netOper@[20] a new, and the first Italian interactive work for the Web starting in the spring of 1997.
