Francesco Maria Stiava
(Lucca, 1640 - Lucca, 1702)
Italian composer. Almost nothing is known about his life. He was born to
a family of musicians, his elder brother, Domenico Stiava, was chapel
master of the Cathedral of Lucca, while he lived for a long time in
Messina, where he was the master of the royal chapel until 1700, when he
returned to Lucca. Stiava's output was mainly sacred and was strongly
influenced by the great Sicilian Baroque. His music can be related to
the compositions of authors such as Bonaventura Rubino, Sigismondo
d'India, Antonio Ferraro, Giovan Pietro Flaccomio and Vincenzo D'Elia.
