Don Lorenzo Perosi


 

Monsignor Lorenzo Perosi (born 21 December 1872 in Tortona, Italy; died 12 October 1956) was far by the most significant Italian composer of sacred music during the turn of the nineteenth century. He had a considerable international success in the late 1890s and early 1900s; Romain Rolland praised him, and several popes including Pope St. Pius X befriended him.
