Fedele Fenaroli

Fedele Fenaroli

Fedele Fenaroli (25 April 1730, Lanciano – 1 January 1818, Naples) was an Italian composer and music educator.[1] Fenaroli entered the Conservatorio di Santa Maria di Loreto, one of the music conservatories of Naples, becoming a pupil of Francesco Durante. In 1762 he was appointed maestro di cappella. Among his students were many celebrated Italian composers, such as Domenico Cimarosa, Niccolò Antonio Zingarelli, and Saverio Mercadante.[2] Giuseppe Verdi was a second-generation student, as his teacher, Vincenzo Lavigna, was a student of Fenaroli. Fenaroli wrote several treatises on music, which were widely used during the nineteenth century. As a composer, he wrote mainly sacred music.
