Pietro Paolo Bencini

Pietro Paolo Bencini (c. 1670 – 6 July 1755) was an Italian Baroque composer and Kapellmeister.

He was the father of Antonio Bencini (died 13 March 1748), who was also known as a composer of sacred works.

[2] Within the years of 1749 until 1753 he was supported by Niccolo Jomelli, because Bencini became more and more unable to work because of illness.

In 1753 Jomelli left Rome in order to succeed Ignaz Holzbauer in Stuttgart.

[4] He is the author of compositions like oratories, masses, secular and sacral cantatas, liturgies, antiphones and psalms.
