Atto Melani
Atto Melani (30 March 1626, in Pistoia – 4 January 1714, in Paris) was a famous Italian castrato opera singer, also employed as a diplomat and a spy. Life Melani was born in Pistoia, the third of seven sons of a local bell-ringer. He was castrated at a young age so that he could become a singer. Three other brothers also became castrati, along with two cousins. His brothers Alessandro Melani and Jacopo Melani both became celebrated composers. He soon attracted the patronage of nobleman Mattias de' Medici. Roger Freitas argues that the "circumstantial evidence is convincing" that Melani has an affair with Duke Carlo II of Mantua: Melani indicated that "both men had sex with the same (unidentified) page at the court of Innsbruck".Roger Freitas, "The Eroticism of Emasculation: Confronting the Baroque Body of the Castrato" in ''The Journal of Musicology'', Vol. 20, No. 2. (Spring, 2003), pp. 196-249. Atto first sang between 1636 and 1643 in the choir of the Cathedral of Pistoia. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
