Nenna seems nonetheless to have been on terms of friendship with Gesualdo, and had dedicated music to him.

As Gesualdo was also Prince of Venosa, it may have been the most prudent political stance for Nenna to assume.

In April 1600, Leonora d ' Este, the more fortunate second wife of Gesualdo, wrote a letter to her brother, then Cardinal Alessandro d ' Este in Rome, in which she recommends Pomponio Nenna to him.

Pomponio Nenna ( baptized 13 June 1556 – 25 July 1608 ) was a Neapolitan Italian composer of the Renaissance.

His father, Giovanni Battista Nenna, was a city official of Bari, and was the author of " Il Nennio: nel quale si ragiona di nobilta ", a book on nobility and character, published in 1542.

The eighth book, published in 1618, was edited by Ferdinando Archilei, a doctor of laws, amateur musician and friend of Nenna's in Rome, and this fact might suggest that Nenna did not live to see its publication.

Nenna uses dissonance to build tensions that intimately reflect the passions expressed in the texts, and he employs imitative melodic and rhythmic patterns among the parts as they move towards points of conflict that then frequently resolve suddenly.

On the back of the frontispiece of a copy of the 1621 edition of the First Book of Madrigals, found in the collection of the Liceo Musicale di Bologna, composer Alessandro Grandi had written in 1623 a dedication wherein he begins, " Escono questi Madrigali del Signor Cauaglier Nenna dal sepolchro delle tenebre alla luce del sole ", or " These madrigals of Signor Nenna exit from out the darkness of the grave to the light of the sun ".

Nenna wrote eight books of madrigals ; however, copies of the second and third books are no longer extant.

In 1582 Nenna dedicated his first book of madrigals to Fabrizio Carafa, the Duke of Andria, near Bari.

Fabrizio had nominated Nenna to be his successor.
