Claudio Casciolini
Life
The son of Agostino and Veronica Finocchiola, he was born in Rome on November. From April 1726 until his death he sang as a bass at the church of San Lorenzo in Damaso where he may have also been maestro di cappella. On 14 January 1724 he married Maria Teresa Mazza in the basilica of S. Lorenzo in Damaso; he had numerous children and lived in poverty in a small house near the Piazza della Chiesa Nuova [it]. He was a member of the Congregation of S. Cecilia, for which he wrote various compositions.[1][2]

Work
Casciolini wrote only church music. Although he lived during what's usually regarded as the late baroque, he wrote exclusively in the stile antico. This consisted of a cappella counterpoint in the style of Palestrina
