Biography

Primo Riccitelli (9 August 1875 – 27 March 1941), was an Italian composer.
One of six children, he was born in the village of Cognoli, Campli in the Abruzzo Region of Italy. His father, Giuseppe, was a small land owner and his mother, Maria Maiaroli, a homemaker. The one-day-old infant was baptized at the local parish hall of Molviano with the first name Pancrazio. He would later perform under the stage name, Primo Riccitelli.
Primo Riccitelli began his studies in the town of Teramo and then transferred to the Rossini Conservatory in Pesaro where he soon became the protégé of Pietro Mascagni. He is perhaps best remembered for two operas, I Compagnacci and Madonna Oretta. Lesser known compositions include Madonnetta, Francesca da Rimini, Lory, Nena; Heremos, Suora Maddalena and Maria sul Monte. The one-act opera 'I Compagnacci,' was performed in Rome and at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City, USA. All traces of several other of Primo Riccitelli's operas have been lost.
After a brief illness Primo Riccitelli died on the 27th of March, 1941 in Giulianova where he is now buried. A street in the town of Teramo bears the name of this illustrious citizen. Also carrying the name of this composer is a musical and theater society headquartered in Teramo and performing in Bellante. On 20 April 2006 a bronze statue was dedicated to Primo Riccitelli at the entrance to the cemetery in the small village of Sant'Onofrio located near his birthplace.
