Giuseppi Antonio Brescianello (Bologna, ca. 1690 - Stuttgart, 1757), is certainly an example of an isolated creativity. Employed for most of his life by the Duchy of Würtemberg in Stuttgart, he was long forgotten by historians and musicians.Part of this can be explained by his isolation in Stuttgart (from the age of 25 until his death), but perhaps the greatest reason for his anonymity is that he composed predominantly for the colascione; a guitar-like instrument that had few followers, little music, existed only in isolated parts of Italy and southern Germany and, with the death of Brescianello, an instrument that fell into virtual extinction. - Anthony L. Glise - France, 1994
