Giovanni Paolo Colonna studied under Antonio Maria Abbatini in Rome, where Abbatini was an active maestro di cappella. Colonna, born around 1640, received part of his musical training from Abbatini during his formative years, benefiting from the older composer’s extensive experience in sacred music and Roman chapel traditions.
