[edit] Challenging the detail of the history

In the history of Pierra de la Rue, the article states that

"Previous biographies of La Rue place him in Siena, Italy between 1483 and 1485; however it has been determined that the "La Rue" in the records there was a different singer. Pierre de La Rue probably never went to Italy, making him one of the few prominent Franco-Flemish composers of this generation never to travel there."

There is however no reference or footnote that allows this fact to be cross checked. As this is a potentially large shift, could the reference and/or material from where this new information came from please be cited?

The most easily accessible reference containing that bit is Honey Meconi's article on La Rue in the online New Grove. I'll put a cite there if you want. It's at the end of the first paragraph under "Life" in this section (subscription access required). Antandrus (talk) 22:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
