About

The only information handed down to us about Ippolito Ghezzi, can be found in the Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani, published by Treccani, and in Musici Agostiniani anteriori al secolo XIX, Stefano Luigi Astengo O. S. A., published in Florence in 1929, which show that he was born either in Siena or Sinalunga.

In about 1650 he joined the Order of Augustinian Monks. Continuing in his career as a musician, in 1679 he was named maestro di cappella to Montepulciano cathedral, a post he held until 1700. The date of his death is unknown.

It would seem that he was extremely fervent in his religious beliefs, as in most of his published compositions he is given the title Baccelliere in Sacra Teologia (Bachelor of Sacred Theology). In 1709 he stopped publishing his works on music. From then on he was probably only interested in studying and publishing religious texts.
