Lodovico Fuga
Lodovico Fuga (1643-1722) was an Italian Baroque composer and organist, mainly active in Venice, where he was a cantor at St Mark's Basilica.[1] In 1680 he succeeded Gasparo Sartorio as organist at San Rocco, Venice, a post he held until his death and where he gained a pay raise to thirty-six ducats a year in 1692.[2] Oral tradition says that in 1682 Antonio Lotti became one of his pupils, although there is no documentary evidence.[3] He may also have played a part in training Antonio Vivaldi.[4]
