His real name was Eugenio Candellone. He began his career as a baritone and made his debut in 1887 at the Politeama Genovese
in Trovatore.
It was followed by Lucia di Lammermoor and Rigoletto with Emilia Corsi. After singing again in 1888 in Genova (Trovatore and
Rigoletto), he stopped singing to retrain as a tenor.
In 1888, he made his tenor debut at the Carignano in Torino in the new opera Nestore by R. Rasori on November 21st, 1888.
After that, he sang:
Alvaro (Faenza 1889, Messina 1890)
Manrico (Messina 1889, Padova, 1890/1892, Genova 1894, Parma: 26/27/30 January-7/9/13/17/19/24 February 1895
with Arturo Ceratelli/Guglielmo Caruson, Augusta Cruz, Maria Giudici Caruson,
Luigi Broglio, Serafina Sciaccaluga, Eugenio Grossi and Arnaldo Conti conducting; Modena 1896, Caracas 1896)
Ernani (Messina 1890, Napoli 1891, Bologna 1892, Genova 1893)
Radames (Firenze 1892, Genova 1899, Bilbao 1900)
Condor (Carlo Felice in Genova).
He was acclaimed as Otello and sang it in:
1889 June Rosario di Santa Fe – Teatro Olimpo with Lina Cerne – Agostino Gnaccarini
1889 July Córdoba – Teatro Progresso with Lina Cerne – Agostino Gnaccarini
1894 October Genova – Politeama Genovese with Lina Cerne/Teresa Angeloni – Tieste Wilmant

1904 June Reggio Emilia – Teatro Municipale with Lina Siebanech – Giovanni Albinolo
Kutsch & Riemens quotes him as having sung Otello over 400 times, which is very unlikely in view of Mr. Marcocci's Otello chronology.
