Passionate about music, Roman abbot Fortunato Santini spent his lifetime collecting ancient music autographs, manuscripts, and scores. His 50-year endeavor resulted in the world's most complete musical library, containing 20,000 titles in 4,500 manuscripts and 1,200 prints. Without his collection, many European music works would have been lost.
