About the composer Giovanni Pergolesi
Giovanni Battista Pergolesi (4 January 1710 - 16 or 17 March 1736) was an Italian composer, violinist and organist.
Born at Iesi, Pergolesi studied music there under a local musician, Francesco Santini, before going to Naples in 1725, where he studied under Gaetano Greco and Francesco Feo among others. He spent most of his brief life working for aristocratic patrons like the Colonna principe di Stigliano, and duca Marzio IV Maddaloni Carafa.
