My Take
Ludovico Roncalli fascinates me because he was a nobleman who gave his soul to music. Born in Bergamo in 1654, a younger son of a count, he could have treated composition as an aristocratic hobby and faded from memory. Instead his guitar and lute suites are still lovingly performed by classical guitarists today. There is real romance in that: sounds written more than three centuries ago still ringing under modern fingertips. He left few colorful anecdotes, only the most honest legacy a musician can leave, the score itself. I have profound respect for talent that survives quietly across the centuries.
