Biography (read more)
Pietro Paolo Borrono was an Italian Renaissance composer and lutenist of the first half of the sixteenth century. He was born in or near Milan. His name also appears in Italian, German, and Latin with a Milanese epithet. He had a career as a soldier, spy, and diplomat, and seems to have been an amateur rather than a professional musician. He also worked for the governor of Milan.
His works were published in three collections, from 1536, 1546, and 1548 — the last his tablature book, published in Milan with Casteliono and reprinted in Venice the same year. In total, Borrono left thirteen balli, six fantasias, and several tablatures of French polyphonic songs. Some pieces are based on popular songs or dances, while others, such as La Gombertina and El Mazolo, appear to be original compositions.
