1585—Vicenza, Italy

The Pellizzari sisters, Lucia and Isabella, who are well-known vocalists, are singled out in praise for their playing of cornett and trombone in the production of Oedipo Tiranno at the Teatro Olimpico. They are sisters of Antonio Pellizzari, custodian of the Accademia Olimpica in Vicenza, and appear with their brother as musicians at the Accademia from around 1581 (Newcomb 100).
