1469—Siena, Italy

Bartolomeo di Monaldo switches jobs from playing trumpet with the Palace trumpeters to playing trombone with the pifferi (civic wind band) apparently for a considerable raise (D’Accone, Civic Muse 539). He works as trombonist with the Palace wind band until 1486. In 1483 he takes on an additional job as town crier (D’Accone, Civic Muse 781).
