Paolo Litta

Paolo Litta (7 May 1871, Stockholm – 8 May 1931, Fiesole[1]) was an Italian composer.

He was of mixed Italian and Swedish heritage.

He was married to the Italian opera singer, Ida Isori[n 1], and dedicated the work, Le Lac d’Amour, to her.

Litta was known for having a dispute with Valentine de Saint-Point on the possibility that some ideas in de Saint-Point's La Métachorie were copied from his work, la Déesse Nue.

[3] Relatively unknown even in Italian records such as the supplementary material[4] for Dizionario Universale dei Musicisti by Carlo Schmidl, La Morte di Cleopatra was his noticeable work to the public until his death.
