Jacopo Puccini

[5] After returning to Lucca in 1739, he served as organist in the cathedral and later Maestro di Cappella to the Most Serene Republic.

[4] Puccini belonged to the Accademia Filarmonica of Bologna and was a skilled teacher.

[3] His musical style incorporated elements of both the Baroque and early Classic periods.

[4][5] Between 1733 and 1780, Puccini wrote 31 servizi ecclesiastici for the annual Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross (Festa della Esaltazione della Santa Croce).

[4][5] Some of Puccini's works, including a processional motet in eight voices, continued to be performed into at least the early 19th Century.
