Alessandro Amodio (1831 — 22 June 1861[1]) was an Italian baritone who had an active international career as an opera singer from 1852 until his death from yellow fever nine years later in 1861.
For three years he studied singing with voice teacher Giovanni Bisaccia (1815-1897) and the flute with Nicola De Giosa in his native city.
One of his performances in Venice was attended by Maurice and Max Strakosch who engaged him for their touring opera company in the United States.
