Scipione Dentice
Scipione Dentice (29 January 1560 – 21 April 1633) was a Neapolitan keyboard composer.
Early life
[edit]Scipione was born into the noble Dentice family. His grandfather was Luigi Dentice, the music theorist, and his uncle was Fabrizio Dentice, the lutenist.
Career
[edit]He is to be distinguished from his colleague and exact contemporary Scipione Stella, a member of Carlo Gesualdo's circle. The two Scipiones were acquainted; the Spanish composer Sebastián Raval records that both Scipione Dentice and Scipione Stella were present with Luca Marenzio at the Peretti palace in Rome when he performed.[1]
