COLONNA, GIOVANNI PAOLO (circa 16371695) , Italian musician, was born in Bologna about 1637 and died in the same city on the 28th of November 1695. He was a pupil of Filippuzzi in Bologna, and of Abbatini and Benevoli in Rome, where for a time he held the post of organist at S. Apollinare.

Petronio in Bologna, where on the 1st of November 1674 he was made chapel-piaster. He also became president of the Philharmonic Academy
