The Cuomo Foundation is the main sponsor of Fryderyk Chopin Cultural Association (AFC), founded by Italian Maestro Marcella Crudeli, the renowned classical concert pianist. The association organises concerts and music events all year, but their main programme is the prestigious ‘Roma’ International Piano Competition, held annually since 1990 in the Italian capital. Its main objective is to pay particular attention to the cultural and professional skills of young pianists and to give them the exposure necessary to launch their international careers. In 2018, the Cuomo Foundation continued its support as the main sponsor of the ‘Roma’ event. In addition, the Foundation co-hosted with the AFC the 2018 annual meeting of the Chopin Societies which took place in Rome.
