The Magnifica Comunità Ensemble was founded a Baroque instrumental ensemble in 1990. Its musicians - who have the aim of making classical music known - carry on a costant activity of personal and group studying and they believe that a philological and stylistical research is necessary to understand music of every century. They have attended post-graduate courses in prestigious schools of music such as The Royal Conservatory of Aja (Holland), Schola Cantorum Basiliensis (Switzerland), the Accademia Musicale Pescarese (Italy), the Accademia Chigiana of Siena (Italy), the School of music of Fiesole (Italy) and the Accademie Musicale of Villecroze (France).
