Giovanni Domenico Zucchinetti

Giovanni Domenico Zucchinetti (1735, Suna - c. 1801) was an Italian organist.[1]

He was a brother to the composer Giovanni Bernardo Zucchinetti, whom he succeeded in 1765 as organist at the cathedrals of Varese and Monza.[1]

His students included the composer Stefano Pavesi,[2] and the famous contralto Giuseppina Grassini; he recommended that Grassini go to Milan for further study as an opera singer.[3]
