Innocenzo Gigli
(Finale Emilia, 3 December 1708 - Modena, 1 August 1772)
Italian composer. Son of Francesco Antonio Gigli and Francesca Paola Castellacci, the earliest news of him comes from the sacred orders certificates preserved in the Modena Archbishop's Archives. It is documented he attended the Schola Doctrinae Christianae from 1716 to 1731. In 1729 he was ordained subdeacon, then deacon (1730) and finally priest on December 1731. About his musical career it is deduced he received music lessons by local masters based in Modena, such as Francesco Buoni and Antonio Toselli. The main composer active there was Antonio Maria Pacchioni, maestro di cappella at Modena Cathedral and with whom he probably studied. About 1734 he was appointed chaplain and music teacher at the Modena's brotherhood of the SS. Rosary. Later, in touch with Padre Martini, he was elected as a member of Philharmonic Academy of Bologna. After the death of Antonio Maria Pacchioni, he was promoted to maestro di cappella at Modena Cathedral a post he held until his death in 1772.
