Italian composer and organist, blind from an early age, He was organist at S. Lorenzo in Florence between 1369 and 1396, and in 1379 was paid 9 solidi for writing five motets--an extremely rare record of payment to a composer. Landini was the most celebrated musical personality of the trecento; his 155-odd extant works are nearly all ballate, in which he excelled. In these smoothness of sound rather than dissonant asperity is evident; Landini's technical prowess can be seen in the canonic madrigal De! dimmi tu. He was a brilliant player of several instruments, especially the portative organ, and at the same time a distinguished poet, writing some of the texts he set and being awarded poetic honours in Venice. His music not only represents about a quarter of all the Italian trecento music known to have survived, but is preserved in many diverse sources, from Florence and elsewhere.
Can you tell us who the performers are?

Even though I was not named after Landini, his many successes, including this beautiful work here, make me proud that my middle name is Frances.

the castle on the left is to MONTEMASSI - on the right to Roccastrada - Grosseto
the character is Guidoriccio da Fogliano leader reggiano paid by Siena early 1300. Painting by Simone Martini (maybe) in mid-1300. The diipinto is located in the town hall of Siena Hall Globe.

il castello a sinistra è quello di MONTEMASSI - a dx quello di Roccastrada - Grosseto
il personaggio è GUIDORICCIO da Fogliano condottiero reggiano pagato da Siena inizi 1300. Dipinto di Simone Martini (forse) a metà del 1300. Il diipinto si trova nel palazzo comunale Siena Sala del Mappamondo.
