about
Pietro Pulli (occasionally appearing as Pulii or Pullj)—was an Italian composer associated with Naples, born around 1710 and documented as active at least until 1759. The concise reference layer characterises him primarily as a composer of operas for various Italian theatres, which aligns with the way modern critical listening and recording commentary tends to position him: as a largely obscure figure whose most significant output appears to have been in the theatrical sphere, rather than in the chamber repertory by which he is most often encountered today. In modern performance culture, Pulli is especially visible through a small number of instrumental works preserved in manuscript or later copying traditions, notably a sonata for recorder (flauto) and continuo dated 1759, which has circulated in the early-music world as an attractive example of mid-eighteenth-century Neapolitan idiom in a genre frequently dominated by more canonical names.
