Lodovico Filippo Laurenti (1693–1757) was a composer from Bologna, Italy[1] whose family was active in Bolognese musical life.
Lodovico studied violin with his father, counterpoint with his brother, and learned to play a variety of musical instruments as well.
Lodovico composed an oratorio entitled Maria Stuarda Regina d"Inghilterra, which received several Bolognese performances in 1718.
In 1721, Lodovico's twelve Sonate da camera per violoncello e basso were published, dedicated to Sicinio Pepoli, a Count who was an amateur musician.
The following year, 1722, Lodovico left Bologna, choosing to live in Portugal as well as travel to Spain, France, the Dutch Republic and England.
