Lucrezia Vizzana

Lucrezia Orsina Vizzana was an Italian singer, organist, and composer. She entered the Camaldolese convent of Santa Christina in Bologna in 1598. She was taught by her aunt, Camilla Bombacci, who was the convent organist, and by Ottavio Vernizzi, who was the unofficial music master. Vizzana's works are influenced by stile moderno music, especially the works of Claudio Monteverdi.
