Biography of Francesco Cavalli
Francesco Cavalli, whose real name was Pietro Francesco Caletti-Bruni, was an Italian composer born in 1602 in the town of Crema, Lombardy.
He came from a musical family, with his father being a kapellmeister and organist, and young Francesco singing in the church choir from a young age. In 1616, he went to Venice to receive his musical education and took on the name of his wealthy benefactor, Federico Cavalli, who convinced Francesco's parents to let him pursue his studies.
In 1617, the talented young Cavalli, still a soprano at the time, was accepted into the choir of St Mark's Cathedral in Venice, where he later sang as a tenor. Cavalli remained associated with this cathedral for his entire life.
