Natale Monferrato (1603–1685) was an Italian baroque composer. He was a pupil of Giovanni Rovetta, then was a singer at St Mark's Basilica in Venice, and then with the aid of Francesco Cavalli vicemaestro, or ''maestro di coro'' (1647–76). On 30 April 1676 he became director, after a competition with Giovanni Legrenzi, another of Rovetta's pupils, and Pietro Andrea Ziani.〔Maria Teresa Muraro ''Studi sul teatro veneto fra Rinascimento ed età barocca'' 1971 - Natale Monferrato (1603-1685) scolaro di Rovetta, visse a Venezia nell'ambito della Cappella di S.
