Pietro Giuseppe Gaetano Boni

Pietro Giuseppe Gaetano Boni (Bologna(?), second half XVII century – Bologna(?), around 1750) was an Italian composer. Born probably in Bologna, in the title page of his published works he is qualified as abate (Abbot) and had a musical formation probably under the Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna, of which he was later member. Since 1711 he was in Rome with Arcangelo Corelli and stayed there until 1720 at least. He published in Rome three books of sonatas, the first one for violoncello and cembalo (1717).
