Founded in Rome, the group is composed of four musicians who received their musical training in Vienna, Luxembourg, Paris, Geneva, Osaka and Rome. The quartet has studied with Piero Farulli, a former viola player of the Quartetto Italiano. Since the autumn of 1998 they have been supported by ProQuartet of Paris, which has enabled them to study with members of the La Salle, Tokyo and Alban Berg quartets. They were invited by Wilhelm Melcher of the Melos Quartet to participate in the Oberstdorfer Musiksommer during August 1999. Members Marco Serino, Gabriele Croci and Valeriano Taddeo were first violin, viola and cello, respectively, of the former Quartetto Santa Cecilia.
