Music in Italy has a history ranging back as far as the year 230 AD. But let’s not take it year by year and instead generalize. We will just say before 1500. Music around this time was mainly religion oriented. One of the first signs of music in Italy was the chanting of Alleluia after recitation of Psalms. More hymns began to show up in 386.
