Italian composer. He entered the Franciscan order before or at the time of his first appointment as maestro di coro of the monastery at Pontremoli in 1600. In 1602 he was an organist at the monastery in Piacenza. In 1604 he was at the monastery in Pola (now Pula) and in 1605 he was maestro di cappella in Muggia, near Trieste. Between 1606 and 1609 he was an organist in Capodistria (now Koper) and from 1609 to 1612 he was in Trieste. In 1614 he was back in Capodistria and in 1616 he was in Pirano (now Piran). He was elected guardiano at the monastery of Capodistria and lived there between 1618 and 1620. Puliti served at Albona (now Labin), 1621-1622, before returning to Capodistria between 1622 and 1624. In 1628 he was elected discretus at the monastery of Pago (now Pag) Island, concluding his career in Trieste about 1638.
Puliti was a prolific composer. However, less than half of his output seems to survive: 15 of his published volumes are extant, and the latest known is marked as op.36. Sacred vocal music outnumbers collections of secular vocal and instrumental music.
