The Cardinal Domenico Bartolucci Foundation was established in Rome in 2003 with the objective of promoting the great spiritual and artistic patrimony of the Maestro, making it available to all those who, now and in the future, wish to share in the expression of this elegant and authentic 20th-century Italian music.

From the time it was established, the foundation has received praise and encouragement from an exceptional Honorary Committee currently presided over by Cardinal Dominique Mamberti and enhanced by eminent figures from the worlds of Christianity and culture: then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, Cardinal Paul Poupard, and Maestro Riccardo Muti.
