Biagio Pesciolini
Biagio Pesciolini (Prato 1535 - 1611) was an Italian composer. He was maestro di cappella of the Cathedral of Volterra in 1563, and then nine years later became canon and maestro di cappella at Prato.[1][2]
Lodovico Zacconi's Prattica di Musica (1592, Venice) presents a 40-voice canonic motet by Pesciolini composed in 1590 for the baptism of the future Grand Duke of Tuscany, Cosimo II de' Medici.

Bernstein Music Printing in Renaissance Venice: The Scotto Press 1998 Page 627 Pesciolini , Primo libro di madrigali a 5 & 6 P1535 ( 1563 ) The title page informs us that Biagio Pesciolini , a native of Prato , was maestro di cappella of the Cathedral of Volterra in 1563. His dedication to Monsignor Pierfrancesco Ricci , provost of the provostry of Prato , seems to have paid off in acquiring a position in his native town
