Showing revision 1AGOSTINO, or AGOSTINI [AUGUSTINUS], PAOLO (1593-1629),
Italian musician, was born at Valerano, and studied under G. B.
Nanini, as we learn from the dedication in the third and fourth
books of his masses, subsequently becoming the son-in-law of his
master. He succeeded Ugolini as conductor of the pope's orchestra
in St. Peter's. His musical compositions are numerous and of great
merit, an Agnus Dei for eight voices being specially admired.
