The roots of the Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra stretch back to 1975, with the idea of doing good in immediate terms and making a lasting contribution to the preservation of art in Rome and the Vatican. The Ambassador of Rome to the World, Sen. Dr. H. C. Hans Albert Courtial, founder and president of the Fondazione Pro Musica e Arte Sacra, continues to guide this 1st tier Festival, inspiring and promoting artists from around the world.

The presentation of the Continuo Art Foundation's Inaugural Concert in 2008 on the Festival Pro Musica e Arte Sacra began an on-going collaboration with the Fondazione. (Visit our Performance Archives page for more information on our Inaugural Concert)  Through this collaboration, the Giovani Musicisti Festival for young musicians began in 2011.  

Working with signature conductors from the United States in preparation for future Festival appearances, these conductors accompany Continuo Arts President Candace Wicke to Rome each year to attend the Festival. The Continuo Arts Foundation works in partnership with these conductors and 1st tier ensembles in the United States and Canada, coordinating and scheduling appearances on the Festival Pro Musica e Arte Sacra.
