Looks fun, unfortunately only open to EU citizens that are residing in Italy.

Yeah, funny how that works. US orchestras should apply the reciprocal rules for auditions but they won't because they only want the best. Many Euro orchestras are more interested in traditions.

The requirement that candidates reside in Italy is actually illegal under EU law, as the EU is supposedly an open community. The requirement of citizenship in an EU country in order to audition however is valid.

Well put. Those same Euros are the first to turn around and call the USA a "fascist" country as well. The irony.
