Marco DallâAquila, born around 1480, was an Italian lutenist and composer of the Renaissance. He primarily worked in Venice, where he was likely associated with the Scuola di San Rocco. In 1504, DallâAquila requested a ten-year privilege from the Venetian government to publish his lute compositions, which was granted on March 11, 1505. His significance is evident in references by notable figures such as Giovanni Spataro and Pietro Aretino, who referred to him as "maestro". His compositions, primarily handwritten, blend improvisational and dance elements with contrapuntal structures. Notable works include three fantasias in Intabolatura de leuto de diversi autori (1536).
