Giovanni Battista Pinello di Ghirardi (Composer)

Born: c. 1544, Genoa, Italy

Died: 15th June 1587, Prague, Czechia

Nationality: Italian

Giovanni Battista Pinello di Ghirardi was an Italian music composer and Kapellmeister of the Italian Renaissance.

Giovanni Battista Pinello came from a noble Genoese family. He worked first as a singer in Vicenza, from the 1570s at the Innsbrucker Hof, then in Prague at the court of Holy Roman Emperor Rudolf II. A few months after the death of Antonio Scandello, he was appointed Kapellmeister to the Staatskapelle Dresden in 1581. Because of disagreements, he soon had to give up this post and settled again in Prague.
