about
Bartolomeo Lustrini (fl. 1753-1766) was an 18th-century Roman sacred-music composer and abbé whose name survives mainly through a handful of documented works and source records. A German lexicon, citing Grétry as its witness, places an “Abbate Lustrini” among the notable chapelmasters in Rome around the mid-1750s. In Roman print culture he is credited with the oratorio Il Gionata (Rome: Ansillioni, 1753) and the Assumption cantata Il trionfo delle donne forti (Rome: Giovanni Generoso Salomoni, 1758). A RISM-catalogued manuscript of Litanies dated 17 December 1766 even labels him “maestro di cappella in Rome,” confirming his standing in the city’s ecclesiastical musical world.
