Pino de Vittorio

Giuseppe De Vittorio, commonly known as Pino De Vittorio is an Italian tenor and actor. He has also sung as a sopranist. De Vittorio was born in Leporano, Taranto, in 1954. In 1976 with Angelo Savelli he founded La Compagnia Pupi e Fresedde which performed Apulian folk music and tarantellas. In the 1980s, De Vittorio joined Roberto De Simone's theater company, taking part, often among the leading roles, in some of his most important works: Mistero Napolitano, Li Zite 'Ngalera, Opera Buffa del Giovedì Santo, la Gatta Cenerentola, Stabat Mater with Irene Papas, Requiem in memoria di Pasolini, 99 disgrazie di Pulcinella, il Drago. At the Opéra Garnier he sings as Nutrice in Robert Wilson's L'incoronazione di Poppea. In a career spanning more than 40 years, he toured extensively in Italy and abroad. One of his important collaborations was with Rinaldo Alessandrini and Antonio Florio, together they interpreted historic Neapolitan cantatas, an almost forgotten genre at the time.
