about
Giulio de Ruvo (17th-18th century) was an Italian cellist and composer. Giulio de Ruvo may have come from Apulia , as his family name could indicate, Ruvo di Puglia is the name of a place near Bari . His works for cello , written around 1700, belong to the early solo literature for the instrument. He was most likely active in Naples , as he dedicated several of his compositions to the Apulian nobleman, the Duke of Bovino, who resided in Naples. In his sonatas for solo cello there are playing instructions such as piano or amoroso . The manuscripts of his works are in the Gustavo Adolfo Noseda collection, the library of the “Giuseppe Verdi” Conservatory in Milan.
