(b Bologna, 8 June 1671; d there, 9 Feb 1707). Italian composer. He studied with Perti and became principe of the Accademia Filarmonica, Bologna. From c1702 he was honorary maestro di cappella to the Duke of Mantua and later maestro of the Accademia del Santo Spirito, Ferrara. His habits may account for his lack of professional preferment; he drowned when drunk. Stylistically he belonged to the late 17th-century Bolognese school of vocal and instrumental composers. His operas were widely performed. Three of the first four are important in opera buffa history since they point to an independent regional development (the music is mostly lost); the libretto of the first, Gl′inganni amorosi scoperti in villa (1696), shows greater dramaturgical sophistication than its Neapolitan counterparts. Aldrovandini's serious operas were successful and, though not innovatory, include impressive music. He also composed oratorios, motets, cantatas, concertos and sonatas.
