Ein Lautenmacher, der aber berühmter als Componist und Virtuose auf der
Archilaute war. Er war ein sogenanntes Wunderkind und erhielt seine Ausbildung
in Rom und Neapel. Es werden ihm auch einige Verbesserungen an
seinem Instrumente nachgerühmt; die von ihm gemachten Theorben und Archilauten
nennt Fétis, der eine solche von 1698 besass, die besten, die je gemacht
wurden. Ich selbst habe keine Arbeiten von ihm kennen gelernt. Schon 1609
