Lucia Quinciani (c. 1566, fl. 1611) was an Italian composer. She is the earliest known published female composer of monody.[1] She is known only by one composition, a setting of "Udite lagrimosi spirti d’Averno, udite", from Giovanni Battista Guarini's Il pastor fido, found in Marcantonio Negri's Affetti amorosi [1] second volume (1611),[2] in which Negri refers to Quinciani as his student.[2] She may have worked in Venice or Verona.
