[Italian] composer and teacher. According to Casimiri he must have taught music at the Seminario Romano, Rome, some time between 1602 and 1606. The first post he held that is specifically documented is that of maestro di cappella of S Giovanni in Laterano, Rome, where he is recorded from 1 June 1611 to 20 July 1613 [...] That he had returned to Rome by February 1616 can be determined from the dedication of his print of that year. [...] Antonelli probably remained in Rome for the rest of his life. [...].
Antonelli was primarily a composer of sacred works, most with continuo, which are typical products of the early 17th-century Roman school.
