Pietro Giuseppe Gaetano Boni (Bologna(?), second half XVII century – Bologna(?), around 1750) was an Italian composer.
Biography and Career
Born probably in Bologna, in the title page of his published works he is qualified as abate (Abbot) and had a musical formation probably under the Accademia Filarmonica di Bologna, of which he was later member. Since 1711 he was in Rome with Arcangelo Corelli and stayed there until 1720 at least. He published in Rome three books of sonatas, the first one for violoncello and cembalo (1717). In 1719 his cantata Cantata per la notte di Natale was performed in Perugia and on January 8 1720 his opera Tito Manlio at Teatro della Pace in Rome, with libretto by Matteo Noris. In 1726 his oratorio Santa Rosalia was performed in Bologna. Boni left a manuscript of instrumental works.
Sometimes confused with Giovanni Boni[1]. To Boni has been attributed the opera Il figlio delle selve, performed in Modena in 1700, but he is possibly confused with Cosimo Bani[2]
