Carlo Zampighi
with Margherita Carosio in Manon Lescaut
Almaviva
Carlo Zampighi was born in Galeata (Forlì) in 1927 and died there on January 29th, 1997.
Zampighi had a rather short career, but he was one of the most appreciated lirico-leggero tenors
of the 50s. He was a pupil of Lamberto Bergamini. His singing was oriented by an
elegant "Schipa style", to which Zampighi added a touch of youthful freshness.
In my opinion, his 33 rpm LP of duets with Margherita Carosio, under Nino Sonzogno,
is one of the best Italian records of the 50s. Paolo Cavassini

The choir and – unknown – bass sing a language that I don't recognize.
