Gaetano Amadeo was born 1824 at Porto Maurizio, a small town in Ligurian Riviera, Italy. He died in Nice, France Avril, 8th 1893. His reputation resulted into an entry in biographic dictionnaries, such as Schmidl's and Treccani's in Italy and eulogistic obituaries in some French, Italian and German journals. But he became forgotten. Most of his career took place in Marseille, where he lived for 27 years and founded a school of plain-song, an exceptional undertaking in this time. He first learns in Lucca with Giovanni Pacini. After 1841 he studies in Bologna with Rossini, who esteems him highly. He is becomes voted into the famous Philharmonic Academy of Bologna in Bologna in 1843. Holding Rossini's written recommendation, he settles in Marseille where he becomes organist of the St. Joseph church on June, 1st 1848, right after the inauguration of Joseph Callinet's organ. He keeps this duty until July 1861. Accordingly he will not be acquainted with Aristide Cavaillé-Coll's organ (1868). He becomes choir master in the cathedral in 1852. He makes the Pavian organ builder L. Lingiardi acquainted with French organ building. Around 1875 he leaves Marseille for an unknown reason - perhaps sentimental - and settles in Cannes. He moves back to Genoa and Porto Maurizio in 1883 and 1884, from where he writes to P.C. Remondini, famous sacred-music reformist whose ideas he shared. At an unknown date he moves back to France. He is found in Cannes in 1887 at the organ of a suburban church. He spends his last years in Nice. He had no close relatives. He bequeathes his library and score collection to an unknown person, who writes a catalog and tries to sell them. Most documents where donated to the Conservatoire of Nice. ==External links== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gaetano Amadeo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
