Italian composer and organist. Son of Pietro Auletta (c.1698-1771), he was active in Naples as a composer of sacred music, but nothing is known of any appointments he may have held. Domenico's three sons were also musicians: Raffaele Auletta (1742-1768), composer of a motet 'Alto Olimpo triumfate', of whose life nothing is known; Ferdinando Auletta, a singer, who studied at the Conservatorio della Pietà dei Turchini, 1759-69, with Nicola Fago and Pasquale Cafaro; and the younger Domenico Auletta (?-1796), who was appointed in November 1779, with Domenico Cimarosa, ‘supernumerary’ organist without salary in the royal chapel in Naples and in 1796 second organist (Cimarosa having been promoted to first). The homonymy between father and son poses problems of attribution, especially as regards undated works.
