Alessandro Stradella was a composer of the 17th century and quite known at his time. He wrote several operas as well as instrumental music. Because of an affair with a married woman he had to flee from Venice and only narrowly escaped an assassination organized by the womens husband (alledgedly the killers forgave him when they heard his music). Unfortunately, the next woman he chose was also married and this time the hired killer succeeded and stabbed Stradella to death in Genoa
