Renato Fasano was an Italian conductor, musicologist and founder of the Virtuosi di Roma, closely associated with Baroque and Classical Italian repertory.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears in a 1954 programme of rare Italian Baroque and Classical music, with the Virtuosi di Roma and soloists including Ornella Puliti Santoliquido.

Fasano’s work helped bring earlier Italian music into modern concert and recording life, combining scholarship, style and chamber-orchestral discipline.

His page is justified by repertory significance and catalogue context. Fasano gives the Italian early-music shelf a crisp Roman profile.
