Claudio Monteverdi.
He was a learned Roman lawyer, studied music with
Giovanni Maria Nanino ('Nanini'), also in Rome, and entered the service of cardinal Ippolito Aldobrandini in 1621.
He is associated with providing music for the popes, particularly Cardinal Maffeo Barberini, later Pope Urban VIII, until Domenico's death in Rome on January 21, 1665.
His younger brother,
Virgilio Mazzocchi, was a less notable Roman composer and had a similar career as a Vatican music provider.
