Italian composer and singer, son of Silao Casentini. He was the maestro of songs at the Cathedral of Gemona as well as a teacher. He composed a number of sectarina dramatic works, and four books of madrigals for 5 and 6 voices. Casentini used the music of Croce in some of his works and demonstrated an insight of the new styles in music particularly the concertato - solo voices/parts contrasted with a chorus or group of musicians.
