Incompatible birth dates
Sources disagree: March 18, 1566 (International Music Score Library Project; Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani; Brockhaus Enzyklopädie; Musicalics; Discogs; Find a Grave; Great Norwegian Encyclopedia) or in 1561 (Kallías).
The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
