  Guido de Bres
Guido de Brès was born in Mons in 1522, the fourth child of a family of glass painters.
Guido, already in his teens, heard from others Reformation truths and could not help but listen to the stories of those who, already then, were being killed for the sake of the gospel.
Although Guido managed to hide until December and flee in safety, all the information of the secret congregation was discovered, Guido's true identity was found out, the people of the church were forced to flee or be killed, and Guido's rooms were ransacked and his papers (including letters from Calvin) were burned.

  Guido of Arezzo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guido is also credited with the invention of the Guidonian hand, a widely used mnemonic system where note names are mapped to parts of the human hand.
In Guido's method, the simple placement of lines allowed those reading musical notation to know where on the scale a particular note should be sung, moving from a relative scale (useful to those needing a reminder of where to sing) to an absolute scale.
Guido of Arezzo is also the namesake of GUIDO Music Notation, a format for computerized representation of musical scores.

Early in his career Guido observed the confusion which prevailed in the teaching and performance of liturgical melodies generally, and especially in his immediate surroundings.

Unfortunately the Roman climate made it impossible for Guido to accept the invitation of the supreme pontiff.

 Guido Cantelli (Conductor) - Short Biography
The Italian conductor, Guido Cantelli, was both the youngest and shortest-lived of the world-class conductors born between 1908 and 1920, a remarkable group that included Herbert von Karajan, Georg Solti, Leinsdorf, Carlo Maria Giulini, and Leonard Bernstein.
His musical youth was conventional and he received keybord instruction: early evidence of a gift, he was given a place in his father's military band when he was a small boy; appeared as organist at the local church from age 10; made his debut as a pianist at age 14.
Guido Cantelli returned to his home city in 1941 as director of the Theatre Coccia, opened in 1888 by Toscanini, who became his champion in the last decade of both their lives.

 Guido Da Vigevano Summary
These drawings, from Guido's own hand, set a new standard for the use of illustrations to augment text in anatomical works, and proved a powerful force toward the reshaping of European studies in anatomy during the late medieval period.
Guido also included two designs for selfpropelled wagons, forerunners of the automobile and (since they were armored machines of warfare) the tank.
More than 150 years after Guido, Leonardo would create his own tank design, and no doubt the creator's artistry is one reason why his drawing is much more well-known: Guido, whose sketches lack perspective (a concept yet to be discovered at that time), was certainly no artist.
