Scipione Dentice (29 January 1560 – 21 April 1633) was a Neapolitan keyboard composer.
Early life
editScipione was born into the noble Dentice family. His grandfather was Luigi Dentice, the music theorist, and his uncle was Fabrizio Dentice, the lutenist.
Career
editHe is to be distinguished from his colleague and exact contemporary Scipione Stella, a member of Carlo Gesualdo's circle. The two Scipiones were acquainted; the Spanish composer Sebastián Raval records that both Scipione Dentice and Scipione Stella were present with Luca Marenzio at the Peretti palace in Rome when he performed.[1]
