Aurelio Bonelli (c.1569 – after 1620) was an Italian composer, organist and painter. Outside of his musical career practically nothing is known about him, save that he was born in Bologna and that he was a student of the painter Agostino Carracci.[1] After Adriano Banchieri moved to Imola in 1601 Bonelli took his job as organist at San Michele in Bosco.
