Giovanni Battista Martini (24 April 1706 – 4 August 1784), often referred to as Padre Martini, was a prominent Italian music theorist, historian, and composer of the Baroque and early Classic periods. Born in Bologna, Martini demonstrated prodigious musical abilities from an early age and was ordained as a Franciscan friar in 1721. His vast contributions to the field of music theory and history, combined with his substantial work as a composer of both sacred and secular music, have ensured enduring legacy in the world of music.

Considered one of the most learned men of his time in the realm of music, Martini's influence extended far beyond his native Italy. He developed a correspondential relationship with musicologists, composers, and theorists across Europe, producing a collection of letters that provide invaluable insights into the musical thought and practice of the 18th century. Among his numerous pupils was the young Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who visited Bologna in 1770.

Martini's works include sacred music - such as Masses and Motets, instrumental compositions, and a number of secular cantatas. However, he is best known for his Storia della musica ("History of Music") which took him 14 years to complete and is regarded as one of the best music histories ever written.

His extensive library of music and literature, which numbered more than 17,000 volumes at the time of his death, was acquired by the city of Bologna and forms the nucleus of the Biblioteca del Museo Internazionale e Biblioteca della Musica.

Martini's deep understanding of music theory, his fervor for musical history, and his compositions have left an indelible mark on music. His life and work will remain a subject of study for anyone interested in understanding the evolution of Western music.
