A surviving record indicates that Josquin was in Milan by 15 May 1484, perhaps just after his 1483 trip to Condé.{{sfn|Macey|Noble|Dean|Reese|2011|loc=§3 "Milan and elsewhere (1484–9)"}} In March 1484 he may have visited Rome.{{sfn|Fallows|2020|p=118}} Fallows speculates that Josquin left Condé for Italy so quickly because his inheritance gave him more freedom and allowed him to avoid serving a king who he suspected had caused the deaths of his aunt and uncle.{{sfn|Fallows|2020|p=105}} By then, the sacred music of [[Milan Cathedral]] had a reputation for excellence.{{sfn|Fallows|2020|p=109}} Josquin was employed by the [[House of Sforza]], and on 20 June 1484 came into the service of Cardinal Ascanio Sforza.{{sfn|Macey|Noble|Dean|Reese|2011|loc=§3 "Milan and elsewhere (1484–9)"}} Josquin's renown as a composer, a strong recommendation from a patron of fellow musician, or the use of his wealth, might have helped him get this prestigious and long-term position.{{sfn|Fallows|2020|p=110}} While working for Ascanio, on 19 August Josquin successfully requested a previously rejected dispensation to be [[Rector (ecclesiastical)|rector]] at the [[parish church]] Saint Aubin without having been ordained a priest.{{sfn|Fallows|2020|p=111}} [[Joshua Rifkin]] dates the well-known motet ''[[Ave Maria ... Virgo serena]]'' to this time, {{circa|1485}}.{{sfn|Macey|Noble|Dean|Reese|2011|loc=§2 "Aix-en-Provence, ?Paris, Condé-sur-l'Escaut (''c''1475–1483)"}}{{sfn|Rifkin|2003|p=305}}{{refn|''Ave Maria ...

Josquin went to Rome with Ascanio in July 1484 for a year, and may have gone to Paris for a litigation suit involving the [[benefice]] in Saint Aubin during the later 1480s.{{sfn|Macey|Noble|Dean|Reese|2011|loc=§3 "Milan and elsewhere (1484–9)"}} Around this time the poet [[Serafino dell'Aquila]] wrote his sonnet to Josquin, "Ad Jusquino suo compagno musico d'Ascanio" ("To Josquin, his fellow musician of Ascanio"), which asks him "not to be discouraged if his 'genius so sublime' seemed poorly remunerated".{{sfn|Macey|Noble|Dean|Reese|2011|loc=§3 "Milan and elsewhere (1484–9)"}}{{sfn|Elders|2013|p=34}}{{refn|See
