Vincenzo Bertolusi (ca. 1550 - 1608), an Italian composer; came from Murano near Venice and is likely assumed to have studied music in Venice too. Less is known about his early career. Like another Italian colleague Annibale Stabile (c.1535-1595) Bertolusi arrived in Cracow, Poland in 1595 and remained in that city as organist. In that time during the reign of King Sigismund III of Poland (1566-1632) there was a Cappella – consisting out of 20 adult musicians - at the Vasa court in Cracow. Sigismund tried to engage more Italian musicians. Bertolusi was musician and organist at the court Cappella of the Vasa’s. Nevertheless at that time most members of the ensemble came mainly from Poland and Lithuania. Members and Italian Maestro di Cappella – besides Bertolusi - at the court are: Annibale Stabile, Luca Marenzio (1553-1599), Guilio Cesare Gabussi (1555-1611) and Asprilio Pacelli ( c.1570-1623). In 1607 Bertolusi transferred with other musicians – due to the rebellion - to the court of King Christian IV of Denmark (1577-1648). Unfortunately there are no great musical memorabilia of Catholic religious music of the Vasa cappella left. Only the anthology Melodiae Sacrae by the Poland editor Bazyli Skalski (ca. 1570 - ) contains religious work from Italians serving at the Vasa-court. Most other manuscripts in general were destined for the use of Protestant communities. Staying in Poland Bertolusi published in 1601 a book of motets for six to ten voices Sacrarum cantionum ... sex, septem, octo, & decem vocibus, liber primus, Angelo Gardano, Venezia. After leaving Poland in 1607 Bertolusi died in 1608 in Denmark.
