Giorgio Mainerio (ca. 1530-1540 – 3 or 4 May 1582) was an Italian musician, composer, and cultist. ==Biography== Mainerio was born in Parma, Italy between 1530 and 1540. His father is thought to have been Scottish given that Giorgio signed ''Mayner'' as his family name. During his education he studied music, but he did not immediately begin a musical career. In 1560, being a presbyter, he sought work as a chaplain and ''altarista'' by the church of ''Santa Maria Annunziata'' in Udine. In Udine, Mainerio spent ten years (from 1560 to 1570) and there, thanks to his previous musical knowledge and to the lessons given to him by two local contrapuntists, Gabriele Martinengo (Maestro di cappella from 1562 to 1567) and Ippolito Chiamaterò (Maestro di cappella from 1567 to 1570), he started his musical career. After three years in Udine he became interested in occultism (astrology, magic and necromancy) and there were rumours that—together with some women—he was attending night-rites. The Inquisition in Aquileia started a preliminary investigation but the case was closed for lack of evidence. After the investigation, Mainiero had more troubles with his colleagues in the Chapter of Udine and, after applying for a position at the Patriarchal Basilica of Aquileia, he quit partially the job in Udine, motivating his decision with "impellent although honest reasons". He was accepted at Aquileia and moved there, living in the quiet and isolated Patriarchate. In 1578 he became ''Maestro di cappella'' at the church of ''S. Chiesa d'Aquilegia''. During the last years of his life he had problems with his health and often left the church in favour of travels to Venice, Ancona, and thermal baths. His death was announced to the Chapter on May 4, 1582. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giorgio Mainerio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
