ModulArt in a new composing methodology theorized and applied to music by Vagnini. The modular composition system extends its procedure to compositions licensed by the musician as completed works of art. To these compositions, new modules can be overlapped. The new modules can be added by the same author in a different moment or by different authors. Greek History University Professor Umberto Bultrighini describes "Vagnini's ability to satisfy old needs and combine them with modern technology. ModulArt as the key answer to the need of defining the artist's work, finding the right balance between art, audience and copyrights". Vagnini's ''ModulArt'' is theorized and applied in a theoretical book, in a book + DVD of modular poems and a cd. Writer, painter, and art theorist Gian Ruggero Manzoni described the modularity of Vagnini's compositions as “circular like the existence, his works are not finished, but merely stimulus for new voices”. Vagnini's ''ModulArt'' in musical composition coincides and was developed independently during the same period of time with Leda Luss Luyken's ModulArt in the realm of painting.
