Biography
A foundling admitted in infancy to the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, della Pietà received a thorough musical education from early childhood in the convent's coro, or music school; she became its principal organist and was active as a violinist in the orchestra. She is known to have composed a litany for the Feast of the Nativity in 1740, and to have written a setting of the hymn Pange lingua in 1741. Nothing further is known of her activities or her life. Along with Agata and Santa della Pietà, della Pietà was one of three foundlings of the Ospedale to become a composer later in life.
The recorded working language is Italian.
