Gino Penno (8 December 1920 – 8 February 1998) was an Italian tenor, who enjoyed a short but brilliant career in opera in the 1950s.
After winning a singing competition, he entered the Scuola di Canto of the Teatro alla Scala in Milan.
In the early 1950s, he became known throughout Italy, as a highly competent heldentenor, singing Siegfried at the Verona Arena and Lohengrin in Rome.
The reason of his retirement is unknown, different sources adduce health problems, a loss of voice, or a wish for a career as a lawyer.
He can be heard on a few radio broadcasts from RAI, notably Ernani (1951) and Attila (1951), opposite Caterina Mancini, and Macbeth (1952) and Medea (1953), both with Callas.
