Francesco da Milan
(1497 – 1543)
WikiPedia: Francesco Canova da Milano (Francesco da Milano, also known as Il divino, Francesco da Parigi, etc.) (1497 – 1543) was an Italian lutenist and composer. He was born in Monza, near Milan, and worked for the papal court for almost all of his career. Francesco was heralded throughout Europe as the foremost lute composer of his time. More of his music is preserved than of any other lutenist of the period, and his work continued to influence composers for more than a century after his death.
