Giovanni Maria da Crema was born in Crema presumably between the end of the century. Fifteenth and early sixteenth. The biographical information on this lutenist and composer are scarce and not always plausible; the origin is attested cremasca dall'appellativo, Latinized in Cremens, which occurs frequently in the title pages of his works. The only reliable news is belonging to the circle of the famous lutenist Francesco Canova Milan
