Octavianus [Octaviano] Gemelli [Aquilano] {Paul III}
Soprano; Aquila; admitted 3 November 1542 ; mandati : November 1542 -June 1547 .
From the documents concerning the dispute with Magnasco (see discussion on pp), we learn the Gemelli had been imposed on the choir by the maestro di cappella and that he had been thrown out because he was convicted of thievery; indeed a diary entry of 21 August 1547 mentions that he was in prison.
