Pirro Albergati

Count Pirro Capacelli Albergati (20 September 1663 – 22 June 1735) was an Italian aristocrat, and amateur composer. Albergati was born in Bologna. The Albergatis were one of the most eminent families of the Bolognese nobility, and Count Pirro Albergati himself was ambassador, confidant of Leopold I, Emperor of Austria, member of the city Council of Elders, and gonfaloniere of the city of Bologna. • "Although posterity has recognized Pirro Albergati for his musical accomplishments, he was probably better known to the general public for his charitable works".(Victor Crowther The oratorio in Bologna 1650-1730) From 1685, he became a member of the confraternity Santa Maria della Morte for whom he composed most of his 17 oratorios.
