Rosa Giacinta Badalla

1710) was an Italian composer from the Milan area[1] and Benedictine nun.

She had only one printed collection, Motetti a voce sola (1684, Venice), a book of solo motets.

Kendrick identifies it as "remarkable among Milanese solo motet books…for its patent vocal viruosity, motivic originality and self-assured compositional technique".

[2] There are also two surviving secular cantatas, Vuò cercando (ca.

1680) and O fronde care (ca 1695),[1] to which Badalla also wrote the text.
