Hans-Albert Courtial IIIIII IINNTTEERRNNAATTIIOONNAALL SSAACCRREEDD MMUUSSIICC CCHHOOIIRR FFEESSTTIIVVAALL Rome and the Vatican City July 27th – 30th, 2007 Dear Choirmasters, Choristers and Friends of choral music, It is a pleasure for me to welcome the choristers that take part in the III International Festival of Sacred music. The wonderful city of Roma hosts the Festival which is extraordinary for the variety of the participating choirs and for artistic level of the repertoires performed by the choirs. Choirs have always fascinated me in a particular way, not only in the moment of performance when the union of voices produces intense emotions, but also in their preparation. Getting used to be in a group, having a certain determined role, understanding that only a common effort will create great results, this has always appeared to me as a highly qualifying school. The aim of our Festival is to promote the unifying power of music, which improves contacts among cultures, traditions and people. I am sure that your stay in Roma will bring pleasant, interesting, joyful and sometimes unforgettable experience for the choirs from all over the world. I wish all of you to enjoy our Festival and have nice days in this magnificent city. Sen. h.c.

These tribulations are best exemplified in the tale of Taddeo Zuccaro, a young lad who left his home on the eastern coast of Italy at the tender age of 14 to pursue a career as an artist in the great metropolis of Rome. His tenuous journey of starvation, deprivation, sickness, and ultimately triumph—sensitively recounted by his younger brother, Federico, who would himself become an artist of great significance—will be celebrated in a major international loan exhibition organized by the J. Paul Getty Museum. On view at the Getty Center, October 2, 2007 through January 6, 2008, Taddeo and Federico Zuccaro: Artist-Brothers in Renaissance Rome is the first exhibition devoted to the artist-brothers that focuses on their relationship and brings together some of their greatest drawings.

In essa si inaugurarono le cattedre di filosofia e di teologia il 6 no- vembre 1553, si conferirono i primi titoli accademici (dottorato in teologia) il 6 febbraio 1556, e si ebbe la prima rinnovazione dei voti il 6 gennaio 1557, dopo un triduo predicato dal padre Nadal. Gli scolastici vennero suddivisi in tre gruppi, per rinnovare i voti durante le Messe celebrate dai padri Bobadilla, Nadal e Polanco. Alla fine di via del Gesù si gira a destra verso via del Piè di Marmo. Più o meno dov’è oggi il Piè di Marmo, c’erano due case che Ignazio affittò nel 1552 come sede dell’appena fondato Collegio Germanico.
