Life
Biagio Marini was probably taught by his uncle Giacinto Bondioli. From 1615 he worked as a violinist under the direction of Claudio Monteverdi at the ''St Mark's Basilica'' in Venice and then 1620 in Brescia. In 1621 his trail led to the Farnese Royal Court in Parma. For almost 30 years he worked for the Duke and Palatine Count Wolfgang Wilhelm in Neuburg an der Donau (Bavaria) and at his court in Düsseldorf. Also stays in Brussels (1624) are documented. He then worked in Milan, Italy, where he was music director at the church ''Santa Maria della Scala'' from 1649 and again from 1654 and in Venice, where he was briefly employed as bass and instrumentalist at ''St. Mark's Basilica'' in 1652. He was dismissed from this position in 1653 for unauthorized absence during which time he had been appointed as the conductor of the ''Academia delle Morte'' in Ferrara. In 1654 he returned to Milan, in 1655/1656 to Vicenza and in 1661 as ''Maestro di camera'' to the private chapel of the bishop of Padua. Five children came from Marini's three marriages.
