Biography
Towards 1600, Bonelli is known to have been working as an organist in Milan. Also, in 1620 he was organist of San Giovanni in Monte, Bologna. Bonelli published at least one volume of three-part Villanelle (Venice, 1596), a book of masses and motets, and his Il Primo Libro de Ricercari et canzoni a quattro voci con due toccate e doi dialoghi a otto. The last was published in Venice by Angelo Gardano in 1602; it is a collection of ricercars, canzonas, toccatas and eight-part madrigals (dialoghi).
