India, Sigismondo d' (c. 1582–1629)| Italian composer. His highly chromatic madrigals have been valued as second only to those of Claudio Monteverdi. |
| He left his native Sicily to work as director of music at the Turin court of the Duke of Savoy 1611–23. His madrigal collections were published in eight books (1606–24) in Milan and Venice. In 1625 his sacred drama Sant' Eustachio was produced in Cardinal Maurizio's palace at Rome. The following year he moved to Modena. Other important influences on his style came from Luca Marenzio and the chromaticism of Carlo Gesualdo. |
