RESIDENT FOUNDATIONS
The Fondazione Musica per Roma was established in 2004 after changing the original business name of public limited company that was founded in 1999. The Musica per Roma Foundation manages the Auditorium Parco della Musica. The large structure designed by Renzo Piano has established itself as an extraordinary "culture factory". Musica per Roma Foundation promotes its development through a rich and varied music programming, film premieres, theatre performances, art exhibitions, literary festivals, major events and exhibitions as well as congresses, conferences, and institutional meetings.
The Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia is one of the oldest musical institutions in the world. Officially founded in 1585, it has evolved over the centuries from an organization of largely "local" musicians to a modern academy and symphonic concert organization of international repute. Uniting an academic body of 100 of the most illustrious exponents of culture and music with a symphonic orchestra and chorus that are among the most internationally renowned, the Accademia carries out professional musical training and conserves an extremely rich historical patrimony, thus reflecting its own multi-century history.
The Fondazione Cinema per Roma was established in February 2007 to promote cinema at a local, national and international level. Always committed to revitalize and support the audiovisual industry in Rome and the Lazio region with an artistic and industrial approach, it supports the dissemination of film culture among audiences, especially young people.
