Augusto Barbaini (Tenor) (Pavia 1867 - ?) 

Pupil of the teacher Cima he made his debut in 1896 at Comunale of Padua as Canio in Pagliacci. Leoncavallo  in a 1907 private letter, besides in a friendly way thanking the artist of the received regards, he declared to consider him the ideal interpreter of the role of Canio. In 1898 he sang in the premiere of the new opera Rina Ferrant of R.Trimarchi. In 1908 he interrupted the career because of serious family motives, the same that determined his withdrawall.
