Carlo Ignazio Monza
(Milan, 1696 - Vercelli, 9 May 1739)

Italian composer. He has often been confused with his namesake Carlo Monza and others, and has also been referred to as Carlo Antonio. In librettos he is always described as Milanese. There is evidence only for the latter part of his life (from 1735 until his death), when he was maestro di cappella of Vercelli Cathedral. His earlier career can be conjectured on the basis of what is known of the places where his operas were performed: in 1714 he must have been in Naples, and in 1716 in Messina, where he probably lived sporadically for some years. In 1722 and 1724 operas and oratorios by him were performed at Ancona, Viterbo and Bologna. He was in Rome between 1724 and 1725, and in 1728 he was in Bologna, where in 1729 he was admitted to the Accademia Filarmonica. On 21 October 1735 he was appointed Magister cantus seu Phonascus of Vercelli Cathedral and a year later was ordained priest. He remained in Vercelli until his death.
