Antonio Melandri (Tenor) (Bologna, Italy 1891 – Faenza, Italy 1970)

Discovering his voice in his late twenties, he made his debut in Novara in 1924. Melandri’s Scala debut was as Calaf in Puccini’s ‘’Turandot’’ in 1926 and the following year he sang in Buenos Aires. In addition to appearances in Holland in 1937-38, Melandri also sang in Germany, Belgium, and Switzerland and throughout Italy.
