Serafino Gentili

Serafino Gentili (1775 – 13 May 1835) was an Italian opera singer particularly known for his performances in tenore di grazia roles.

In his later years, he went by the surname Gentili-Donati to distinguish himself from the tenor Pietro Gentili.

Gentili was born in Venice and is presumed to have had his training there although little is known about his early life.

[1] From 1822 to 1824 Gentili sang at the court opera in Dresden, primarily in Rossinian roles.

His last known performance was in April 1825 at La Scala where he reprised the role of Lindoro in L'italiana in Algeri.
