Luigi Vannuccini (4 December 1828 – 14 August 1911) was an Italian conductor, composer and teacher of bel canto Born in Foiano della Chiana, Vannuccini began his musical studies with his father Ernesto, who had been singing teacher in Florence for Adelina Patti and continued at the conservatory of that Tuscan city.
In Florence, moreover, he founded a singing school that soon acquired great fame, not only in Italy, but also abroad,[2] particularly in America.
He was part of the historical "Quartetto Fiorentino" with Giuseppe Buonamici, Bruni and Jefte Sbolci [es].
In England, a collection of "Solfeggi" from the best Italian vocal tradition was published.
Vannuccini died in Bagni di Lucca at the age of 82.
