Diplomatic Career

[edit]

On 3 December 1994, Pope John Paul II named him apostolic nuncio to Panama[2] and Titular Archbishop of Abari.[3] He received his episcopal consecration on 6 January 1995.[2] On 25 September 1999 John Paul appointed him Apostolic Nuncio to Madagascar, Seychelles and Mauritius and Apostolic Delegate to Comoros and Réunion.[4] On 10 February 2004 he was appointed the Nuncio to Guatemala[5] On 5 January 2009, Pope Benedict XVI named him the Apostolic Nuncio to Peru,[6] and on 6 August 2011 the Apostolic Nuncio to Cuba.[7]

In September 2014, Musaro spoke openly about Cuba’s "extreme poverty and human and civil degradation". Musaro made his remarks while on vacation in Italy. The Cuban people are "victims of a socialist dictatorship that has kept them subjugated for the past 56 years," Musaro said. "I’m thankful to the pope for inviting me to this island, and I hope to leave once that the socialist regime has disappeared indefinitely.... Only liberty can bring hope to the Cuban people."[8]

On 2 February 2015, he was appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Egypt and delegate to the Arab League.[9]

Pope Francis named him Apostolic Nuncio to Costa Rica on 29 August 2019.[10]

On 11 July 2023, Pope Francis accepted his resignation upon reaching the age of 75.[11]
