Nicola Matteis (Composer)

Born: c. 1650, Naples, Italy

Died: c. 1714, London, England

Nationality: Italian

Nicola Matteis (Matheis) was the earliest notable Italian Baroque violinist in London, whom Roger North judged in retrospect "to have been a second to Corelli," and a composer of significant popularity in his time, though he had been utterly forgotten until the later 20th century.
