Dominico Magiello

Dominico Magiello was an Italian composer of madrigals, active between 1567 and 1568. He was born in Valeggio, near Verona.

His earliest work is the Il primo libro di madrigali a cinque, published in Venice in 1567. It is dedicated to Guglielmo Gonzaga, following Gonzaga's accession to the Duchy of Mantua in 1563. The collection focuses above all on Petrarch, including a six-section version of Padre del ciel.

In the Il secondo libro di madrigali a cinque (Venice, 1568), Petrarch once again predominates, alongside an extensive cycle on Non ha tanti animali il mar fra l'onde. Its dedication defends the dignity of the science of music, which yields nothing to metaphysics in nobility, antiquity or certainty.
