Possibly born in Venice, Giovanni Rovetta was an Italian composer, instrumentalist and singer, working ‘in the shadow of Monteverdi’, of whom he was likely a pupil. Like his violinist father, Giacomo, Giovanni’s career from the end of 1614 involved working in St. Mark’s Church. During his time at St. Mark’s, succeeded [[Alessandro Grandi]] as assistant maestro and, on [[Claudio Monteverdi]]’s death, he was appointed maestro until his own death in 1668. His musical output mainly consists of: four volumes of motets for small forces, settings of the Mass and psalms for larger forces with instruments, and three books for madrigals for a variety of ensembles.
