Full biography Francesco Canova da Milano
Francesco Canova da Milano was an Italian composer and lutenist of the Renaissance period, born in Monza, Italy in 1497. He was also known as "Il Divino" and was considered one of the most celebrated lute players of the 16th century.
Canova's music was highly influential during his time and his reputation as a master of the lute was known throughout Europe. He served as a musician to several prominent figures, including the Papal court in Rome and the Duke of Milan. Canova's compositions for the lute were highly sought after and his influence is evident in the works of many other lutenists of his time.
Canova's music is characterized by its clear and expressive melodies, rich harmonies, and intricate ornamentation. His compositions showcase his skill as a performer and his deep understanding of the lute. His music also reflects the influences of the humanistic ideals of the Renaissance, with a focus on the beauty of melody and the expression of emotion.
Despite his immense talent, Canova's music fell out of popularity in the centuries following his death. It was not until the 20th century that interest in his work was revived. Today, he is considered one of the greatest composers for the lute of the Renaissance period, and his music is still performed and studied by lutenists around the world.
