Pintelli and his brother Thomas were both employed in Florence during the 1480's and 90's. D'ACCONE had posited that Pintelli came originally from France in spite of his Italian name, and this is confirmed by beneficial documents in which he is consitently called a cleric of Avignon. He is the composer of the Missa Gentilz gallans de France in VatS 41, fols. 2r-14r, and one secular work, Questo mostrarsi adirata di fore in FloBN BR 230, fols. 50v-51r (edition in D'ACCONE ).
