Guiseppe Caruso (1667-1727)

Italian composer and organist. According to the title-page of his only surviving publication, Sacre lodi del SS.mo sacramento concertate, op.2, for two to six voices and continuo (Naples, 1634), he was then working in Sicily as organist and choirmaster to Don Antonio Statella e Caruso, Marquis of Spaccaforno, grand seneschal of the King of Spain. In the dedication he referred to a volume of madrigals that he had published earlier as his op.1.
