An anon contributor from Bulgaria changed Allegri's death date from February 7 to February 17.
I presume you mean to convert a Gregorian to a Julian date? Since Allegri was born and died in Italy, where the Gregorian calender was used, this should not be necessary. February 7 is correct (though it would be February 17 in the Julian calendar, which was not used in 1652.) Let me know if you think I'm wrong. All my reference books give February 7.

[edit] Miserere
I've included the description of the Miserere from this page into the Miserere article. It clearly belongs there, but this creates a fair amount of duplication. Some ancillary discussion of the Miserere should be removed from this article; I'm not certain how much.
[edit] Picture
Is the picture really one of Allegri? As he was a castrato I think it very unlikely that he would have a beard. 82.110.109.208 12:00, 24 August 2006 (UTC)
