Luigi Gatti

Luigi Gatti was a classical composer. He was born in Lazise in 1740, the son of an organist, Francesco della Gatta. He was ordained a priest in Mantua. In the 1780s, he became Hofkapellmeister in Salzburg, and Leopold Mozart showed his irritation at not receiving it himself. Between 1801 and 1804, Gatti helped Mozart's sister, Nannerl, to locate unknown pieces by Mozart. He died in Salzburg in 1817.
