Francesco Maria Zuccari

Francesco Maria Zuccari (Dosolo , 1694 - 1788) was an Italian Franciscan, composer and organist. The date of birth is uncertain and deduced from a rich correspondence. Zuccari was present at the basilica of Assisi as early as 1718 as the first organist and from 1725 to 1727 as choirmaster. In 1727, after refusing the same post in Padua , he accepted a transfer to the Basilica of the XII Apostles in Rome . Later he was first organist in Padua from 1742 to 1749
