Bellerofonte Castaldi (1580 – 27 September 1649) was an Italian composer, poet and lutenist.〔Nigel Fortune and David Dolata, "Castaldi, Bellerofonte", The ''New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians'', second edition, edited by Stanley Sadie and John Tyrrell (London: Macmillan Publishers, 2001).〕 Castaldi was born in Collegara, near Modena. He wrote male parts in his songs for tenors as he was opposed to the practice of castrati or male falsettists singing female parts in cantatas. In the preface to his collection, ''Primo mazzetto'' he writes that it is "laughable that a man with the voice of a woman should set about proposing to his mistress".〔Julie Anne Sadie (ed.), ''Companion to Baroque Music'', with a foreword by Christopher Hogwood (London: Dent, 1990).
