The Santini Collection is an archive of musical scores dating back to the 18th century, originally the collection of
Fortunato Santini, a Catholic priest born in a Roman orphanage in 1778. The archive contains autograph manuscripts by
George Frideric Handel and
Alessandro Scarlatti, and in some cases preserved the only copies of these works for many years.
