It was with this group that he introduced some of his own music. In 1903 he became director of his alma mater, remaining in the post for two years; in 1905 he was tapped to succeed Pietro Mascagni as head of the Conservatorio Statale di Musica "Gioachino Rossini" in Pesaro. There he was to remain until 1939, when he was succeeded in the post by Riccardo Zandonai. He died in Pesaro. Zanella's compositional output consisted mainly of orchestral and chamber works. He also composed three operas; Aura (1910, to a libretto by Ida Finzi), premiered at the Liceo Rossini; La Sulamita (1926, to a libretto by Antonio Lega), premiered at the Teatro Politeama Piacentino in Piacenza; and Il revisore (1940, after The Government Inspector of Nikolai Gogol), premiered at the Teatro Lirico Giuseppe Verdi in Trieste.
