Coro Diocesi — Di Roma

1. Overview & Identity The Coro Diocesi di Roma (often translated as the "Choral Association of the Diocese of Rome" or "Diocesan Choir of Rome") is not a single, static ensemble but rather the official choral organization of the Catholic Diocese of Rome . Its primary mission is to serve the liturgical, pastoral, and musical needs of the Pope and the diocese, particularly during major celebrations in the Lateran Basilica (the Pope's cathedral as Bishop of Rome), St. Peter's Basilica, and other Roman churches.
