One of the most popular Ave Marias is being misattributed to Caccini,
the "Ave Maria" was in truth composed in the 1970s by Russian lutenist
Vladimir Vavilov. Vavilov, who had a habit of attributing his
compositions to famous composers, recorded the piece in
[1972] 1970, attributing it to
"Anonymous" on the album. Following Vavilov's death, Caccini's name was
erroneously attached to the piece in subsequent recordings and performances.

Ave Maria (Vavilov)
"Ave Maria" is a popular and much recorded aria composed by Vladimir Vavilov
around [1972] 1970.
It is [...]generally misattributed to Baroque composer Giulio
Caccini.
Vavilov himself published and recorded it on the Melodiya label with the
ascription to "Anonymous" in [1972]
1970.
It is believed that the work received its attribution to Giulio Caccini
after Vavilov's death, by organist Mark Shakhin (one of its performers on
the mentioned "Melodiya" longplay), who gave the "newly discovered scores"
to other musicians; then in an arrangement made by the organist Oleg
Yanchenko for the recording by Irina Arkhipova in 1987; then the piece
become be famous worldwide[1][2][3].
