Italian composer and teacher. A priest at San Petronio, he studied first
plainsong and cantus figuralis and then, under Floriano Arresti,
counterpoint. In 1717 he was received into the Accademia Filarmonica as a
singer and in 1719 as a composer, serving six times as principe and
holding other important offices. In 1740 he was named deputy maestro di
cappella to G.A. Perti at S Petronio and in 1756, when Perti died,
succeeded him, holding the post until his death. He was a highly
regarded teacher and had many pupils. Carretti composed much sacred
music in both the strict and concertante styles, publishing a Credo
corali, for one and two voices and optional organ (Bologna, 1737), and
some sacre canzoni in the anthology La ricreazione spirituale (Bologna,
1730). The largest collection of his manuscript works is at S Petronio.
