Padre Pellegrino Santucci

Father Pellegrino Santucci (1921–2010), born Cesio Santucci in Montecastello di Mercato Saraceno, was an Italian composer, organist, choral musician and member of the Servite order. He entered the order in 1933, taking the name Pellegrino.

His musical activity was closely associated with sacred music, the organ and choral practice. His output and writings reflect a sustained interest in the relationship between musical craft and worship. His arrangement of the traditional Canto di Maria is included on Da Vinci’s Puer Natus.
