Fondazione Arcadia published two separate series of music:

1. The  FONDAZIONE ARCADIA – ITALIAN MUSIC FROM THE EIGHTEENTH CENTURY Series is edited by the Scientific Committee of the Foundation in collaboration with Società Italiana di Musicologia and is published by the printing works of L.I.M. (Libreria Musicale Italiana, Lucca – www.lim.it). It is dedicated to publication of critical edition of unpublished works to satisfy the need to produce an accurate text from the philological standpoint that is at the same time of accessible use to performers.
2. The FONDAZIONE ARCADIA series, published by Carisch, proposes critical editions of Italian music from the Baroque period (printed scores accompanied by printable parts on CD ROM), and is mainly intended for use by musicians and students.
