Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina was probably born 500 years ago in 1525 and was considered one of the most important composers of sacred music of his time after his death. Although he is primarily remembered today as an author of sacred music due to his work as a singer and chapel master in Rome, he also published madrigals for four and five voices, which were very famous (such as Io son ferito and Vestiva i colli).
