Albert de Rippe (Alberto da Ripa da Mantova) was an Italian lutenist and composer. He was born in Mantua and worked there before 1528, when he left for France. There, he joined the court of Francis I in 1529. De Rippe was evidently held in great esteem at the court, as his annual salary was double that of any other lutenist, and he also frequently received gifts of land, money, wine, etc., and various other benefits. Francis I granted Rippe a letter of naturalization, guaranteeing his descendants an inheritance.
