Jeronimo Bassano
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeronimo Bassano was an Italian musician who is noteworthy for having been head of a family of Italian musicians — Anthony Bassano, Jacomo, Alvise, Jasper, John and Baptista — who moved from Venice to England and the household of Henry VIII to serve the court. Jeronimo himself never moved, however, but was listed in Venice as a "Maestro of the trumpets and shawms." It is not known whether he was related to the composer Giovanni Bassano, but it seems more than possible.
