Theobaldo di Gatti

Theobaldo di Gatti (c.1650-1727) was a composer and musician, born in Florence. He moved from Italy to France after hearing the music of Jean-Baptiste Lully. King Louis XIV made him a naturalised French subject in 1675. In France he was simply known by the name Théobalde.[1]

He earned his living playing the bass viol, both as a teacher and as a member of the orchestra of the Académie Royale de Musique (the Paris Opera). He composed songs, duets and two works for the stage.

gollark: But *can* it throw fire?
gollark: The hypertoaster is electrical though, flamethrowers mostly run on chemical means.
gollark: Every house has both, but they could share a lot of components surely, as the main goal is to warm stuff up.
gollark: Why not save money by integrating your household toaster with your flamethrower?
