Giuseppe Anedda

[1] He performed with his instrument in concert halls around the world, including some where mandolin "had never entered", and taught at the Conservatory Pollini of Padua (holding "First Chair.

[2] While still young, he also became part of a professional performing group, the Quartetto Karalis, with Flavio Cornacchia (mandola), Giovanni Scano (guitar), and Massimo Piredda (2nd mandolin).

[1][2] He started working for the Ente Italiano per le Audizioni Radiofoniche in 1941, and in 1948 was part of the first ever performance of the original concert of Vivaldi for two mandolins, strings and harpsichord, led by Maestro Nino Sanzogno.

[1][2] That performance led to a greater and longer term opportunity, when Maestro Renato Fasano wanted to include it in the repertoire of the Collegium Musicum Italicum.

[1][2] He gave concerts with Claudio Scimone in Switzerland, and the friendship between the two helped establish the "First Chair" for teaching the mandolin at the Conservatory Pollini of Padua, where Anedda remained until retiring in 1980.
