unusual facts about Venetian school


Altarpiece of the Halberd

The monumental composition is taken directly from the tradition of Holy Conversations in the Venetian School, inaugurated by Antonello da Messina's San Cassiano Altarpiece.


Alonso Lobo

Some of his music also uses polychoral techniques, which were common in Italy around 1600, though Lobo never used more than two choirs (contemporary choral music of the Venetian school often used many more — the Gabrielis often wrote for as many choirs as there were choir-lofts at St Mark's Basilica).

Correggio, Emilia-Romagna

It is also the birthplace of composer Bonifazio Asioli, the world famous flautist Andrea Griminelli, the pedagogue Loris Malaguzzi, the Venetian School composer Claudio Merulo, the rock singer Luciano Ligabue, the famously disqualified 1908 Summer Olympics marathon runner Dorando Pietri, and the novelist Pier Vittorio Tondelli.
