Dowland wrote:  "... I past over the Alpes into Italy, where I found the Citties furnisht with all good Artes, but especially Musicke.  What favour and estimation I had in Venice, Padua, Genoa, Ferrara, Florence and divers other places I willingly suppresse, least I should any way seeme partiall in mine owne indevours.  Yet can I not dissemble the great content I found in the proferd amity of the most famous Luca Marenzio ... Not to stand too long upon my travels, I will only name that worthy master Giovanni Crochio Vicemaster of the chappel of S. Marks in Venice, with whom I had familiar conference."
