Italian musician. Jeronimo Bassano is noteworthy for having been head of a family of Italian musicians--Anthony <../IVM/BassanoAnth.html>, Jacomo <../IVM/BassanoJacomo.html>, Alvise <../IVM/BassanoAlvise.html>, Jasper <../IVM/BassanoJasper.html>, John <../IVM/BassanoJohn.html> and Baptista <../IVM/BassanoBaptista.html>--who moved from Venice to England and the household of Henry VIII to serve the court. Jeronimo himself never moved, however, but was listed in Venice as a "Maestro of the trumpets and shawms." It is not known whether he was related to the composer Giovanni Bassano <Bassano.html>, but it seems more than possible.
