And again: the Camilla Records, ecord label, founded in 2012 and dedicated to emerging music, ArtUro Sound for the production of indie and electronic music, a free-press magazine (Music In), an editorial series (Saint Louis DOC)

For about twenty years, Saint Louis has been managing and coordinating numerous international projects every year, both for training and artistic production, always in line with the state of the art in the sector. And for about 10 years, planning has been more focused on international cooperation and exchange, thanks to a strong internationalization strategy, both in the EU and non-EU fields, and also thanks to the successful activation of the Erasmus + Program (103, 107 and 203) of the last seven years.

In view of the numerous projects carried out in this period of time, the most recent and most successful projects with international impact, coordinated by Saint Louis, are worth mentioning:
